Time
with me has been “You get out, what you put in”. My father would tell me this when I was little. It made sense to me especially with my livestock projects in 4-H.
Life-Altering
We are constantly experiencing change in life and it can sometimes be hard to know how to face it. These past three months have been full of changes and new experiences, from meeting members from across Kansas to moving and getting ready for college.
When Life Gives You Lemons Make Grape Juice.
Why turn lemons into grape juice? Why don’t we just try lemonade? Sometimes the obvious choice (in this case lemonade) isn’t what needs to happen.
