• Confession: I was a big fan of the show “Friends”. (Please don’t judge me.) If you are willing to admit that you were too, which “friend” did you relate to the most? If you have known me for 2 months or 2 decades, it probably didn’t take long to figure out that I am Monica. […]

  • When was the last time you forgave someone? When was the last time someone forgave you? Maybe it’s best to clarify – what does forgiveness really mean anyway?

My mask was getting a little dusty on the bottom of my purse from lack of usage. I completed a training program at a local church. After dealing with some health […]
