Restored Heart

The Pink Door

Did you have one of these in 2021? No…I don’t mean a literal pink door. Let me unpack this a bit. This pink door ended up in my home in 2021. Don’t ask!! I hated it -still do. For me, it represents things that I had to deal with (or live with) even though IContinue reading “The Pink Door”
