Building a new Bridge
Conflict happens. Adulthood might not be as petty as high school (maybe), but you’re not going to get along with everyone. Sometimes, friendships end. It’s hard. It’s really hard.

Heck Yeah, ‘Plus-Size’ Supermodels!
I was recently lucky enough to attend a fashion show for local Adelaide designer Paige Rowe. What I was surprised / delighted to see, was that Paige had included a runway of beautiful, diverse woman in all shapes and sizes.
