Well, it’s election season and most folks are caught up in the hate; the anger; the rhetoric! Friends in danger of deletion; permanent and temporary! LOL Folks polarizing to one side or the other and end up agreeing with things they don’t agree with, all for the sake of defending their side! Crazy huh? I’ve…
Boy, once you start getting honest with yourself, there’s just no end to it. LOL It seems that there are a whole bunch of people that live life with unmet needs and just like in the other categories of life, folks just aren’t being honest with themselves. I’ve heard people reduce need down to the…
I often hear people blame their difficulties on their parents and how they were treated when they grew up. You know the story, right? My daddy didn’t love me!
