Tamika Morris 10/26/2021 8:32 AMAll in all I am really pumped about living a more holistic lifestyle and encouraging my children to live with intention and thought about the world and their over footprint in it. It means alot to give of your time, your effort and your dollar. It goes a long way to push someone's business forward by supporting it or by giving your time and the greater reward is living life with purpose which feeds the soul. -
