December 19, 2020 By Bonnie Parrish-Kell

Let me show you what's inside my 2020 Allstate Hot Chocolate Virtual 5K swag bag via my video on Slowpoke Divas TV channel on YouTube. SPOILER ALERT: Yep, I earned the cool finisher medal!

A neighbor recently told me she marvels at my ability to work on home improvement projects with my husband. She couldn’t imagine “lugging around” lumber or full five-gallon paint buckets, much less holding a small beam … [Read more...] about Who are You to Say You Can’t?
