Please welcome my #BeReal guest today, Rebecca Lombardo. Many of my readers will relate to Rebecca. I know I do. All I can say is never give up. As I entered my senior year of high school, I noticed that my mood could change at the drop of a hat. I may get to school…
My #BeReal guest today is Martin Conterez. Today Martin tells us a beautiful story about being a father. I was just talking about how important I feel it is for us to be real for our children. Thank you Martin for participating 🙂 I was walking to the metro with my daughter. Normally we drive…
