Posted on Jul 29th, 2009 by shivermetimbers01

When was the last time you felt at peace?

Posted on Jun 25th, 2008 by shivermetimbers01

What kind of person do you want to be?

Posted on May 8th, 2008 by shivermetimbers01

I want to be a person who, when attending my high school reunion, people say, "Whoa.  Is that really her?"  That's how much I want to grow and change.  No more insecurities, no more myopic... More »

What does 'enough' mean to you?

Posted on May 6th, 2008 by shivermetimbers01
