Hey friends, Though I’m not 100% sure that you are actually reading this (my blog meter is not working), I’m having a blast writing!

Today’s Jesus’s birthday. And, because I had a moment of complete self-centeredness, it reminded me that I too have a birthday. It’s one of my favorite days of the year. July 7th. And this year, I will turn 27 on 07/07/07. Sweet, huh? Your Birthdate: July 7 You are an island. You don’t need anyone
Ghana is gonna be hot.
