Round is a shape right?
I’m so out of shape. If someone yells, “Run for your life!” I will yell back, “Y’all go ahead. I’m going to meet Jesus. I’m ready.” I saw my doctor today and we have a plan. We, like he’s going to eat what I eat and work at not dying with me. It’s not that…

Get out of my Way
What are your biggest challenges? By far my biggest challenge to anything I do is me. My own impulsive thoughts or my inability to make a decision. Can I do this? Am I good enough? That’s so silly. Because all of that happens in my head. I got this. I can do hard things. Light…
