Book Review: Head Strong by Dave Asprey Ronda Bowen, April 12, 2017July 5, 2017 Years ago, in a galaxy far-far away known as junior college, I took a biological psychology class.

Book Tour: Evanthia’s Gift & Waiting for Aegina Ronda Bowen, March 13, 2017July 5, 2017 My Big Fat Greek Wedding is one of my favorite classic films.
