Writing about writing, because sharing is caring, and empathy encourages connection
Aunt Michelle, Mom, Jenna, Aunt Lisa, Nikki and I started a “Crazy Corbin Girls Book Club” this year, and after leaving the Ozobot book club I had while in California, I could not be happier to have a book club to belong to again!
