Twitter Chat

I’m going back to something I have loved in the past but I have drifted from for whatever reasons or excuses I’ve given myself.

I tend to not think of myself as selfish.  I am sure, when the boys ask for something and are told I am busy or some other response, they think so.  I am not.  I just finished reading an article by Rebecca Pratt about putting yourself first. Pratt hits the nail on the head as… Continue reading Put Yourself First
