Big Breath

I am taking a big breath before jumping into Christmas plans.  Shopping, baking, and decorating will begin soon.  But, until then, this is what I am really looking forward to.......my 60th birthday will be celebrated in Jamaica; the real Jamaica, with my best friend, my bff, where we will also celebrate 50 years of best friendship. 

 Dare to do something different!
