Did not know about #14... proud of you! My water drinking hero.

Twila Paris will always be one of my all time favorite artists. Love that she wrote most of her own music, and it is real and authentic. Plus I love her voice.

Redeeming Love is also my favorite book!!

Have you always paid for your hair coloring? Even when you were 16?

@Pam
My mom paid when I was in high school, but when I went to college she quit, and so I quit for a time, but quickly got back into it when I started working again.
