July 15, 2019
MY TWO CENTS Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible!’… Audrey Hepburn took the time to reframe something negative into something positive.

MY TWO CENTS Whatever you are, be a good one… I’m one to want to do everything as there are so many wonderful and exciting things to do in this world.
