(Yes the picture above is a hat from a Justin Bieber concert…don’t judge.) I’m guessing this title has you wondering what the heck I am thinking and what message I am trying to send. The whole point of the blog is to not apologize for going after the life you want and the things that […]

Don’t Say Sorry For Saying Yes (Even If You’re Afraid!)
