We approach so many folks in our lives. Some for a moment, some for a lifetime. But which ones truly deserve us? Over the last year I came across an individual who seemed pleasant at first. She was fun, adventurous, smart, and like me, loved food. But first appearances, can be deceiving. We have a ...
It happens, we just can't help it - sometimes we wind up in this tornado of negative thoughts whether it's towards someone else, a situation, ourselves, or just overall. It's no bueno.
