Favorite Things
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
Today I feel inspired to share my joy with you, by sharing a list of my favorite things. One of my favorite things to do when I’m getting to know someone is to send them a list of my favorite things, and then ask them to send me a list of their favorite things in return.
