Instead, embrace the challenges, the mistakes, and the unknowns. Every time you overcome an obstacle, you become more empowered.
Biography: I am originally from northern Indiana and have lived most of my life in Indiana. Much of my joy goes to being surrounded by family and friends. I believe being surrounded by the people you love simply feeds the soul. Some of my hobbies include baking, reading, surfing Pinterest for the newest dinner recipe, and snuggling two cats at a time (because one just isn't enough)!
