Crash Course at the Ash House

Making Relish while Relishing Relationship

For some reason as humans we feel the need to reach across generations and stretch ourselves outside of time…
Waiting in Wonder
Waiting in Wonder I love to inspire others and reach out to help others. I have always wanted to share my experiences and to bless the people around me. Back in January 2013 I began praying about my purpose in life and asking God to give me direction in regards to this question. I recorded…
