I didn't even know how much I needed it until it arrived. (Well, that's not exactly true.) I was crossing my fingers and toes that I would get good news, but I was preparing myself for the worst just in case. "Just in case" may feel like a denial of hope in a given situation.... Continue Reading →
When to Say Yes and When to Say No
Somewhere along the way I got confused about when to say yes and when to say no. When to affirm and when to negate. When to accept and when to refuse. When to allow and when to deny. Maybe it was because I didn't know what I wanted. Maybe it was because I didn't really... Continue Reading →
