Sometimes clichés are true like “children are the future.” Giving back and volunteering with kids is good for the soul.
The Book that Changed Me (6/2014)
Some books are just beach reads or just gym book, but some books change you forever. A House in the Sky is most certainly the latter.
My Cracked Phone (6/2014)
So, your iPhone is cracked? Get in line, everyone’s is. But, not everyone sees the crack as a metaphor for life.
Finally Perished (6/2014)
And now your iPhone is more than cracked? Now it’s actually broken for good. But hey, it’s still a metaphor.
