I do have a dream, but this is more about my five-year-old daughter and the dream she had. On our way home from Christmas weekend with our family, she shared that she had a dream that gas was $100/gallon. My husband and I were riding on an empty tank just so we cou ... Read more...
I love It’s a Wonderful Life. I know it’s a holiday tradition for many. It leaves me feeling extremely reflective afterwards. But I don’t watch it for the feel good moment at the end. Don’t get me wrong. The ending is wonderful when George realizes how loved he i ... Read more...
