Reminiscing, and crying, over the loss of a relationship is not bragging. It’s part of the healing process. When a loved one is taken out
With all the negativity in this world that affects children, I feel so powerless to change anything. That’s why I’ve started the “I Stand With Children” campaign. I was originally inspired to do this because of the war between Israel and Hamas, and all the innocent people caught in the crossfire… I can’t take sides,
