The “What Ifs”
One thing I am most proud of is my relationship with God. This journey has tested my faith more times than I can count. Just last week, I found myself thinking, Lord, I can’t be tested anymore. But, as my mother reminded me the other day, what doesn’t kill us…

As I sit here in this café writing today’s blog, I can say this has been one of the wildest yet most rewarding journeys I have embarked on. It has been the hardest experience of my life, but I am incredibly grateful for the path I am on and for…
