I traded in perfection for humility
Not exactly on purpose. It comes with age I think. Take yesterday for instance. My birthday and happy news about Benji making it into the iCatCare Calendar – I the proud mom and photographer. So I did a quick celebratory post. Why not? Then… Continue Reading “I traded in perfection for humility”
