The new job!
Hi everyone! Well, I have a new job! Some people are scratching their heads… weren’t you already doing weather? I was. I volunteered my time at a local Facebook page doing daily weather reports and hurricane coverage for almost a year. It was fun but I really just did the daily reports in my… Read More
The “Maya Habit” – Meeting the President’s Sis…
… pretty much changed my life. It’s not what you’re probably thinking… one degree of separation from the President of the United States IS pretty cool, but what really struck me about this woman is her heart. Like, wow.

WHAT SHOULD I HAVE IN MY EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT?
