Go with the Flow, Even if You are Scared.
Good morning my friends. I am in Paradise; Kauai. Certainly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. I am with friends; a few I’ve traveled with before and a few new ones. We are warrior women. Two of us have had complete lung transplants, one is a the gals is cancer survivor. I […]
