June Guest Blogger: Daniela Avilez It’s been quite some time since I’ve been to Spain. It was a trip that my first high school offered through the art department.

Starting my freelance writing business was exhilarating and empowering. Traveling Europe and sharing experiences with my husband and kids was endearing. Then we arrived, and I felt overwhelmed.… Continue reading Clarity at the Eiffel Tower
