Thank Your Haters
Photo by Alev Takil on Unsplash I know it is difficult to even consider that your haters may be right. When someone is judging you the last thing you want to consider is that they may be on to something. I am not saying that those who criticize you are always right, however, let’s look at […]

What Does Survival Look Like for You?
Photo by Yoann Boyer on Unsplash Is it possible for a person to save another who didn’t know they needed saving? We look at all the social media that screams at us with lies about our self-worth.
