My friend is my age, she works harder than anyone I know, harder than I could at a company that nearly killed me (a job she helped me to get 5 years ago), she is a corporate project manager, professional singer, story-teller; an amazing mom, friend, mentor and tour guide – and she is still …
No Plans for the Future
WHAT on earth do you mean by that, dear blogger? Recently I’ve heard two different people talk about their minds “grinding” obsessively about shit they cannot control.
