Our Journey

Our Journey

Our Journey.   We live in a world where “normal” is different for all of us.  Where and how we grew up plays a big role in determining what “our normal” is.  As an adult, I now realize that just because your normal wouldn’t be my normal doesn’t make me right and you wrong or vice versa.  Life experiences and circumstances have molded us into who we are and what might work for my family may not work for your family.  So, we must all discover what works for us and create our journey. Join me today as I share “Our Journey” with you.
