Reflection Doesn’t Suit Me
July 12th, 2010 by Mandy Vavrinak
Mainly because I’m not one to do a lot of looking back… when you (or I) screw up, we need to absorb those lessons where we are and then move forward. Take the time you need to feel the pain and then, Just. Move. On. So, in the spirit of moving on…

April 7th, 2010 by Mandy Vavrinak
