A couple weeks ago I decided to try a new lipstick, small yes, yet big at the same time. The small things add up to the big. In order for you to live your dreams, you must take small steps to meet your goal. After making the decision to start a blog, I had to decide on my mission and goal. Although I knew my purpose, I had to write out a plan and carry it through. Getting to the point of actually publishing this blog was a journey.
