Thank you, Kayla!!
Love this!!
There are many times I feel like you MUST just have that “gut” feeling to hit the “publish” button and when you feel others need to read that they are not alone in their wandering thoughts. This was perfection and I can’t thank you enough for being so real and putting yourself “out there”.
GRATEFUL,
Susan
