Anything but rains…

sun on a rainy day

I know I know! Everyone is going to run at me with a stick to club me. But I am not really a rain person. Rains, where I stay, can cause real mayhem. It is less romantic and more scary and lightning and thunder is going to lash right in front of my eyes. And… Read More Anything but rains…

Confrontation helps

Confrontation is key

The negative feelings are never going away. You wake up in the morning and decide – “Today is going to be a good day!” or “Today is mine to grab!” – and thinks start spiraling out of control from the moment you step in to the sun.
