My six core areas for 2016
Family (and friends) Where is your home? Who are you living with? Who are your closest friends? Who’s your love? How do you raise your children? I realize, I need a family. I need a home. I’m 31 soon and I don’t have a home. Isn’t that tragic. “Your home is where you go.”…
