My REFIT® Glory Story: Passion Lives On Part 1

Most stories are built in chapters. If we look back over the course of our lives, we will notice that one chapter of life was built as a stepping stone for the next. As I look back, I see the truth of this in my own life. (This has ended up being very long so I will […]
