I Believe in #SilverLinings, You Just Have to Look
I have always been able to tell my friends that if you consider it, there can be a silver lining in any event. I know you are probably saying to yourself, well, what about…. Yeah, I have done the same. But with time and patience the truth is revealed. When I had breast cancer in... Continue Reading →
Tzatziki Dressing or Dip #Tzatziki
