I’ve always loved to write. And told myself someday I would write a book.
This is a start. Thank you for reading!
It’s Just Brownies
*I wrote this a couple of years ago when I was still working for Home Health and Hospice. I came across it when I was organizing some things for the new website, and thought it was the perfect time to share. No matter how small the gesture may seem to you, be it a...
