I want to share with you 30 things that I have learned along this journey of womanhood, motherhood, marriage, faith and becoming free. These are short and sweet soulful nuggets that I picked up along the way. This could have easily been a list of one hundred with all of the ups and downs that I have experienced but I’ll leave it be. I hope that you can take away something from this list that will either inspire you, free you, connect with you, or give you a little encouragement on your own journey…
