Hey look at that! A post that's out at a reasonable time. I'm not caught up, but I'm closer!
I also got the crack in my phone screen today fixed, so it's been productive!

Wheel Of Fortune
Another day, and another dazzling debut. It's the Wheel Of Fortune featuring Kerri Schultheis-Barnes.
Earlier today, I thought to myself I could use a little luck right now. Then I looked at today's reveal, and I realized we all could. The Wheel of Fortune asks you to be open to change, because a ...

So I had a crazy idea last night.
When I was going through Josh and David's photoshoot, I remembered I did a couple poses with the idea that I may add someone in later as the Angel.
Why? In other depictions, The Lovers card typically shows a naked man and woman standing beneath the angel, Raphael, whose name means ‘God heals’ and represents both phys...
