Thoughts On…

Photo taken from this post Sometimes I like to look back through my blog to remind myself of how I’ve grown and what’s been going on the past few years. It’s one of my favorite things about being a blogger, actually–I can reminisce and remember and read about my life almost anywhere, anytime. On days …

(Me as Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile–the last noteworthy accomplishment of my 25th year) Even though I never said it on here, on my last birthday, I was determined to make my 25th my best year yet. And maybe it was because I kicked it off with marathon training, but I really have felt that …
