Hello December
You are allowed to reinvent yourself as many times as you want. My big sister and I (ousie), as I call her, loved playing pretend. She had the most vivid imagination.

Hello April
Today is a hard day for me… Last year, I woke up with a song in my heart and was ready to start the new month. April is a month that brings change, it brings shifts, it bring new things. In my mind, I was focusing on the new season we were moving into and…
