I met Tiffany my senior year of high school during a scholarship pageant in our community. Our initial connection n began with having the same name (as it does with all Tiffanys) but her kind heart and driven personality really stuck out to me. As the years have gone by I’ve had the chance,…
Live Your Best Life: My Lesson In Efficiency
Last year was a true struggle for me. Personal, professional, and just the general challenges of everyday life got on top of me. I was struggling to just maintain, to get a sense of where I was and what I was doing daily. I didn’t understand how to fight this and took a few weeks…
