Reflection

Why 12 raisins?

Posted on February 23, 2018March 22, 2018 by 12raisins

At the stroke of midnight, I ate 12 raisins, one at a time, each one representing one wish for the New Year...Wishes fulfilled, I embark on a new journey. A journey of writing, motherhood and reflecting on this thing called life.
