Inspirational Mom :: Helen Lao Baxter of Clear Path Solutions

I was impressed that they were specifically marketing towards women and make it easy for people to get their car repaired without the aggravation. You know how it can be when you get a fender bender and it takes 5 calls just to get a decent quote?

We then met the Bedouin guide who would drive us through the mystical desert all day and the later to our tent where we would spend the night. As we ventured on our journey in…
