I remember the first time someone told me that I had low self-esteem. I was sitting in my pastor’s office with my spouse. I didn’t want to be there, I was hurt. I wanted out, out of the room, out of the marriage, out of the moment. I wasn’t there to hear about m; I... Continue Reading →
Over the weekend, my husband and I went gold prospecting. He bought a dry washer and was excited to be able to try it.
