Hi, everybody. I have the happy honor of posting for Positively Positive. It’s a post about volunteering for Operation Smile. (BTW, I get on a plane tomorrow for a medical mission to the Philippines). If you’re not familiar with the website, I hope you’ll enjoy noodling around over there, that is after having read and […]
