Before beginning today’s post, I have an important announcement to make. A dear blogger, Crisly Zerrudo from Empowering and Uplifting, recently had a family emergency. Her father suffered a stroke last week.  He made it through surgery but has a long road of recovery ahead.
Please take your time and help Crisly out by donating money to pay off the medical bills. Also, please share her story on social media. You can check out the information and ways you can give here: https://gogetfunding.com/help-my-dad-recover-from-stroke/
Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.
Thank you!
