ROAD WORK
We are all told, “live your life to the fullest”; I am here to do just that. After losing my husband to COVID this year, I've done so much work to understand who I am without him. You can read about our story in my first post. Road Work serves as a vessel to share and explore my passions, and clue in my readers as to what inspires me in this crazy world. So, sit back, relax, follow me across the country and read on.
