“Wisdom is precious because of the price we pay for it.”
Jody Day, Rocking the Life Unexpected: 12 Weeks to Your Plan B for a Meaningful and Fulfiling Life Without Children

“Wisdom is precious because of the price we pay for it.”
Jody Day, Rocking the Life Unexpected: 12 Weeks to Your Plan B for a Meaningful and Fulfiling Life Without Children

Shannon L. Alder
