More Self Love

Drug of Choice
Friends – I would love input on the following… Until recently, I didn’t realize that a drug can be anything you use that: will block pain, suppress pain, or hide the pain.

Not to mention,… Continue reading Smile – It’s Social Media

Rethink Judgement.
Who are we to judge others when no one is perfect? Sorry to bust your bubble but you aren’t perfect either. If you WERE perfect then you’d be God. Oh my goodness, are you God?
