Fall Forward

It’s officially Autumn. But, this year instead of falling back, I am making a conscious effort to fall forward. Forward thoughts. Forward action.

The untimely death of Gabrielle’s mother resulted in 11 year-old “Coco” being sent away to live her childhood in a convent orphanage inContinue reading “The Little Black Dress”
