I started my journey in the summer of 2016. I wanted to change my relationship with alcohol.

My Pull Up Progress

I think I am ready to quit twitter.

It is known as a birder park and the spring is a perfect time to come and see them for 2 reasons. First, most of the trees are pecan and unlike live oaks (another popular tree in our area) drop …
