So Sunday was just a bad day for me. Every time my kids or husband said something to me I snapped. Every time a negative thought crept into my head, I got on edge and frazzled. There weren’t enough sugary beverages or snacks in the house to fill the sugary void that filled my stomach….

Have you ever heard of the phrase “cute as a button.” Well I would use that to describe Debra, but she’s so much more than that. Just this week we were at African dance class at Sankofa Village and Debra was dancing with her baby on her back (Yes, a one-year-old baby on her back…
