Breathing Through Fear
I am not much of a thrill seeker. I have zero interest in roller coasters. I’d happily choose a Volvo over a sports car. It’s just not my personality type. My husband on the other hand, loves the adrenaline rush of a roller coaster. I really don’t get it. In the early stages of our […]
