I am making a home inside myself

I am making a home inside myself

Meeting yourself

Meeting yourself

A few days ago I went to help a friend in need. She’s had a terrible year and with the recent rain was desperately trying to keep the water streaming down her driveway out of the house. The drive there was challenging, and I didn’t know if the roads would...
