Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. Joshua 1:3 ESV Please indulge me as I dedicate this post to my dear friend, Domi, as she leaves for new adventures in London. Dominique means of the Lord, and this is a …
As I pondered this post and what I wanted to share about my journey into discovering what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person or HSP, I began feeling a bit self-centered.
