WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
“No.” It’s a simple word, yet so hard to say. “I really cannot take that on right now.” “No, thank you.” I am not sure where the past week went, but I think it had something to do with being unable to say “no”. I just get caught up in the excitement of creative and new ideas. “Who wants to ... Read More » -

UNNOTICED RITES OF PASSAGE
Rites of passage are usually celebrated moments: graduation, marriage, getting a coveted job or promotion. And then there are those rites of passage that just happen without our being aware.
