Tackling Tolerance – We’re Not Gonna’ Take It Anymore!
I was on the phone with a business acquaintance turned friend discussing all of the changes I’ve encountered in life recently.

Take Off Your Judgy Pants!
7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1 Are you done? You just made a decision whether or not you liked me and wanted to continue reading this blog. If it were real life and I was walking towards you, you’d have already made your decision about who I was, how I looked, what was important […]
