If I Knew Now, What I Knew Then….
What do I regret? How can I deal with this? I’ve actually been thinking about this question for a while now; I even skipped it and came back to it, and I still really don’t have an answer. I don’t really have anything I regret in life; and that’s really how I choose to live,…
Self-Care Sunday: Phone Fasting

Learning to Forgive and Forget
