Delete Mess/Downgrade Stress Part 2: Relationships

One of the most difficult things I’ve encountered in living out my vision is the reality that some people cannot move with us to the next stage of our lives.

Can You Hear Me Now?

Sweetie Pies, I used to be so annoyed by that guy on the Verizon commercials who always asked if the person he was talking to could hear him. I think she was just ignoring him.
