St. Louis was never on the top of my list of places to visit. However I was given the opportunity to attend a conference and spend some much needed girl time there this month. Therefore, I happily booked my ticket.  Now I confess that St. Louis was so much more than pretty sights and fun with my girlfriends.  This trip empowered me to be obsessively grateful and to become a defender of innocence.  I write this not just to give you some tips on what to see and do when in St. Louis but to raise awareness on a topic that is difficult to talk about but that is so important.
