Twenty-three years ago, a beautiful little girl was born. From the get-go, she was sweet, sensitive, and rather shy. She has grown into a young woman of whom I am so proud. She has worked hard to overcome challenges, and recently told me she is trying to face her fears, and asked me if I would write her story and share it here on the blog, in hopes she can inspire others through their own struggles.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your WW success! I'm on it as well, since February 1st. I made lifetime member back in the 80's, and unfortunately gained it all back over the last 20 years.....how did that happen!?! :o) But I weighed myself this morning and I'm now at 12 pounds down! Woohoo!
Reno is adorable.....love the pics of him.
And congrats on your son's engagement! How long do you have until the wedding? If it's at least a year, one of the best gifts a friend of mine gave her daughter......she spent the year purchasing/collecting beautiful holiday decorations and gave them as a gift. What new bride has the time, inclination, or money to decorate for the different holidays, right? I thought it was genius!
