Not letting things get in my way….One way Ticket to Shanghai
Not completely ready for my trip to Shanghai tomorrow….but can’t stop the hustle, the adrenaline going through my veins…its amazing how many people like to tell you things are impossible, or that it has to be done a certain way.

Makes me realize life is really about the small things we …
