Can I touch it? Can I touch it?


Before the kids were home for the summer, I was going to the YMCA quite regularly……kickboxing, running, weights and some cycling. Summer hit and that went south quick. BUT………..To my delight, I still lost weight. I guess my move to watered down beer finally made a difference on my waistline. On a whim………I tried on… Read More Can I touch it? Can I touch it?

The time doesn’t                  even matter. It makes me                               feel so alive. I can’t help                                                  myself. It’s hot, dark, and                                  incredibly rich. I can’t                stop… Read More Coffee Love
