I'm the kind of woman that likes to enjoy herselves in peace.
Alice Walker
Image
My heart hurt so much I can't believe it. How can it keep beating, feeling like this?
Alice Walker
Image
before I embark on any new venture, I ask myself: will the joy of doing this make me lose track of any concern for time? If the answer is yes, I proceed!
