Mondays just got less mundane (new post every week – same day, same time!)
Yes, I may have just called you homeless. BUT. Before you start throwing shade (or shelter my way... depending on the type of person you are since I'm also homeless), let me explain. I am not homeless - I am blessed to be living under a roof with heat - though sometimes it's a battle to use…

A project by the eAmbassador team of Glendon #GLsuccess This week, through an initiative raised by Francette Maquito (a lovely fellow eAmbassador), our team decided to collaborate on the theme of success.
