What a wonderful interview! Phyllis, you’re a pro! 🥰 @PhyllisHarris
This introvert went way outside her comfort zone. I’m so proud of myself because I didn’t pass out.  But seriously, it was such an honor to share my book on Great Day KC. fox4kc.com/video/fresh-reads…

Life is a short trip. Enjoy it and be kind to people. Kindness is the best legacy to leave. You want to look back on your life one day and know that no matter what you faced, you were kind throughout it all. 🫶🏻 #StarfishClub
