I finally decided to get my second tattoo.  Since I had breast cancer last year, I knew this tattoo would be an Ebeneezer from that journey. I wanted it to be visible this time (my first one is on my back) so it would be a constant reminder to be strong, courageous...

I recently purchased a new dresser, much smaller and more realistic in size.  I have been waiting to move the items I want to into it, but it has not lost that "new" smell no matter what I put/spray in the drawer.  I really don't want my clothes to smell like that. Since...
