Some like to live their passion everyday. You have to choose what’s right for you. There are so many things every day that we can’t control and we let those things throw us off track instead of focusing on the things that will progress us down a positive path.   Kandace Hudspeth Answers…   What was it like moving from NYC to Boise, Idaho?
