Don’t give as a way to avoid taking.

What’s your favorite part about dinner parties?
I firmly believe the world is a better place when there are more dinner parties. I love dinner parties, and I don’t even cook. For me it’s about a number of other things. Dinner parties are a chance to gather new combinations of people. I love to introduce my friends to one another and witness […]

Be brave today.
Everything you want, that you feel called to do, all starts with being brave.Asking for help. Stepping up for that promotion. Breaking a habit that has kept you safe but unhealthy.
