Thank you for the day off. But I will not be celebrating the 4th of July. This year there was nationwide awareness of a holiday that black Americans have celebrated for years, Juneteenth. June 19th marks the true independence of all Americans. I was listening to the radio on the way to work one day […]
Thanks to my sponsor, Russell Brunson, for supplying the free product to help me write this post today! I’ve been on this blogging journey for a while. But, it has not been an easy one. My desire to have my vision come to life has given me the motivation to keep going. My biggest […]
