Opening the Back Storage Room Door
The whole reason my blog is called Open Door and the tagline is Home Doors Open Hearts is because I desire for you to grow with those around you. I believe as we open our physical doors to those around us something special will happen. I believe we will learn how to love and be loved in return.
