Amazing

Listening to my childhood crush and love of my life AJ! (As a teen)& the amazing Cheryl Burke and the dazzling Rene has helped me tremendously through the toughest times in my life, even the darkest moments of suicidal thoughts. You all have all been so vulnerable with what you’ve shared and it has helped me through my sobriety and I love you all and would love to meet you all one day and say thank you! Xoxo
