Typos Tackled, Trees Toppled, and Traditions Trimmed
Today we are looking at influences in our lives – the impact other things have on who we are and how we journey through life. What kind of influence are you on others? What are you letting influence you on your journey? I want to share three things in my life. First is the Typos…
