Need a Better Mantra? Find Your Truth First.
If you know me at all, you know that my mantra for the past several decades has been “There’s not enough time.” I’ve kept this mantra so long I seriously envision my gravesite as a half buried casket, unplanted flowers, and a headstone that reads: “Here lies the empty tomb of Sheila Whittington Couldn’t stay [...]
