Last week, I had the honor to travel to a destination that has persisted as a mainstay on my “Places to Visit” list. Your girl finally made it to Jamaica! Montego Bay, to be exact. I arrived on May 29th and stayed until June 4th. Let me tell you – it was an absolute dream. […]
COVID-19 certainly put a dent in my social life. Over the past two years, friends I regularly fellowshipped with were limited to scattered text conversations and the occasional Zoom video call.
