She’s Fit To Lead
I love the one for August! Dirt roads are amazing and you never know where you will end up. The road less traveled may be the harder way to go sometimes, but the results are well worth the journey.
Lol, “the year everyone loves to hate”. That made me chuckle. Yes, it has been a rough year, but I am glad you guys are helping us focus on the positives!!
Happy New Year to you too! Glad that 2016 was over and feeling optimistic for 2017.
This is awesome! I’ve never heard of MNDFL before but it looks like a business I would frequent often. These women are so inspiring.
I love all the individual thoughts. A great way to get ideas for yourself.
