Daddy Issues

Daddy's Girl

A father is supposed to be a man you can look up to, someone you admire.  For a girl, your daddy is someone that treats you like a princess, someone who loves you and comforts you.  A girls’ dad is the foundation of what the man of your dreams should look like, act like, and how they should treat you.

waterfall, my first baby step

If you didn’t read my last blog, How comfortable is your comfort zone?  You can read that here. I took my own advice and set out on an adventure, practicing baby steps…
