I took a 60 day digital detox, found peace and this is what I learned! Life is governed by your terms, not the terms of who you follow or what you see posted.

We have gotten to a point where it needs to be understood that “life is not just a highlight reel, life is real!” I stated this one day when talking to my friends about sharing using my platform, starting with more vulnerable posts on my personal facebook page about overcoming trials and tri ..read more
