Here are some people on twitter who influenced me the most in 2011: Best Soul Sisters – Cheryl Richardson (@coachoncall) and Kerri Richardson …
As an avid Denver Broncos fan all my life it has been fun for me to watch quarterback Tim Tebow this season. I was at the Chicago Bears game last week were Tebow and the Broncos pulled off yet another improbable comeback, their 6th win in a row. So why am I writing about Tebow here instead of on my …
