It’s amazing how we as people feel we are in control of everything. We say and do things in hopes that we can manipulate situations. Have you ever experienced or witnessed someone lying on you or someone else in hopes it would position them better for a job, a business, a boo, or friend? How is it that we think we have that much control? I was talking to a friend recently and she shared how someone lied on her in hopes for a new position. But why?

It seems each year our reunion gets better and better; this year was no different. We had an amazing time filled with love, laughs, explorations, and great pride of our heritage.
