Mantra

Some people have a Mantra. Other people have many mantra's and some have never really thought about it. Getting your thoughts down and even up on a prominent wall is helpful for the focus of what you deem successful and important in life. It can change things dramatically!

Give Yourself A Break

Give Yourself A Break

First let me just say that this “how to”  is a “me too” post. It’s a “How Too”. LOL. Today we are talking about compassion.
