Hey there, Mama. Are you doing okay? You look like you could use a friend. What is it that’s giving me such an impression? It’s that I recognize the heavy look on your face. You do wear it well; I want you to know that. And, come to think of it, I’m pretty sure I…
“Dream Bigger.” Only two words, but they pack a gigantic punch when you live them as your mantra. In this photo (above) you can’t be more than 2.5 years old.
