Huge thank you to Soroptimist International of Guam (SIG), I am humbled and extremely appreciative of this $500 donation to go toward this year’s Luna Festival.

I’m not sure how to begin writing this special post, so I’ll just start by saying exactly that. If you look back at many journal entries of mine, they often begin with “I’m not sure what to write, but…” and it is because I have so much to say that I don’t know where to …
