My youngest niece is starting a health blog. During her cancer treatment she posted updates and concerns for others to heed. She was inspiring, an inspiration for others to take care of themselves.

RELATIONSHIP PRACTICE? YOU NEVER KNOW
August 6, 2024 by
Relationship practice includes the ongoing question: What is real vs What isn’t. It’s a struggle for some, but not here. Why? Because I understand the rules at the most basic level. No family pics allowed, which is a shame because we range somewhere between good looking and beautiful.
