Making memories,connecting and being brave… Podcast – Episode 2
Trying my hand at podcasting. Bear with me as I bravely put myself out there. I will speak to fast perhaps in the beginning, or have a husky voice, but all in all, the purpose is to show the real me which has all those things.

I miss being part of a team….
My husband and I have been a strong team, just the two of us ever since we met. We know what we each need to be happy and we try very much to support each other to get those things that support us.
