3 things THINKING is not

November 8, 2016 by Emily J. Maurits

October 25, 2016 by Emily J. Maurits

My sister celebrated a momentous birthday last week. It caused me to reflect. I love her so much, yet we are so, so different. Different likes. Different dislikes. Different hobbies. Different personalities. Different favourite things. Different lifestyle choices.
