Double Chocolate Muffins
I love to bake and great creative in the kitchen. Today, I had picked some summer squash from my garden. Is it still a garden if my squash is the only plant that still producing?

I stopped writing for a while in 2015. Not only because I no longer had a place to write but I felt like I failed and no longer had a story to tell. I was not in this deep dark depression outwardly. I was still showing up to the gym, having fun with my kids,… Continue reading If You Slip…Don’t Jump Off the Cliff
