It’s been awhile since I posted, so I thought I’d jot a few words. Have I jotted enough yet? 😉 Went to a conference in Orlando yesterday to hear a couple of seasoned men of God. I don’t normally do stuff like this, but I wanted to hear their insights on our current state of politics and economics, and how …

It’s been awhile since I’ve been eclectic. So, here we go. Winners of Love Starts With Elle Thanks to all who entered and responded to me by email.
