    20 for 20: People Magazine feature #6

    People Magazine Half Their Size X6 Wow! Every time I get an opportunity to be featured in People Magazine’s “Half Their Size” issues I’m astonished. I’m overwhelmed that my story is STILL relevant and timely and I’m also amazed that I always seem well prepared. What it’s taught me is that…

  • The Scale Fail
