The Teen Project
Yesterday morning I had the privilege of breakfast with Lauri Burns (sorry for getting lost and arriving 45 mins late – that Lake Shore Drive sure is a long road). I first met Lauri 6 years ago, when she was the opening speaker at a convention I was attending in Palm Springs. She is […]
