I was NEVER going to live in Lee’s Summit. Or Missouri for that matter. But, here I am.
Downtown Lee’s Summit was a beacon of hope after looking at another round of NO houses in the area. I needed something to...
I’m not typically a person that has body issues. I look in the mirror and see myself, it’s not always that pretty, but it’s me, and I’m OK with that.
