Quite honestly, my average Sunday is, well, usually average. However, this Sunday was proof positive that we are in control of our own destiny, and it is shaped by the decisions we make. Yesterday I found myself in NY City, with Stacy London (TLC’s What Not To Wear) and her entourage, being primped, styled, made-up […]
