Reflections Before Bedtime #77
By: Gabriela Yareliz I left my house and felt something was different. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, until I reached the intersection, while I was waiting to cross. I wasn’t wearing leggings; that was it! In the winter, leggings become a second skin, if you will. I wear leggings under everything. TheContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #77”

Leap Year
‘Leap Year’ is a ‘top 10’ movie for me. It always makes me smile, and this is just the perfect time to watch it. Magical things happen when we let life surprise us, and we surrender control. Anna: Jeremy and me, it didn’t work out. Declan: I’m sorry. Anna: Well, when my 60 seconds came around,Continue reading “Leap Year”
