Starting Your Dreams Later In Life and Embracing the Detour

Jenee Darden speaking at Creative Mornings I know it's been a while since I've posted anything but that's because of my job.

But, that doesn't equate to happiness. For some of us it may. I don't want to give away too much of my review, but read on here.
