Surfing...
So I was surfing day before yesterday and I was on Sasha Farina's blog. I looking at what all she has and then I find her area on "Stalk-Worthy" blogs-the 1st blog listed is Aleida Franklin...so I clicked. Needless to say that my jaw dropped. If you check it out - close you eyes when you click for her blog and start scrolling down - get away from the top and just read what Aleida has to say about her family, her life, her scrapping. How she goes about looking at what she has instead of what she doesn't. Its been quite a while since someone's blog has touched me like this.
I just wish that I could live half of my life as she seems to have lived hers. I am sure that we could as a nation learn something from this wonderful woman.
