A Beautiful Commodity
Hello beautiful!! Yes, I’m talking to you. This is your reminder to make sure that you never forget you are a hot commodity. Now I am not saying a commodity in the sense of you being an item for someone to purchase, but in the sense of you being so valuable that people long for your presence in their lives.
