Stand Up To Yourself

As adults we make the rules we live by. We choose whether or not to pay the bills or pay for other things. We choose who to live with. We make decisions and choices from the available options on how and where to live.…Details

Fear of Becoming

There is a myth that we teach each other which says if we are doing the work then we are on a straight path that will lead us to our goal.
