Autumn’s ushering in Winter
It’s sure chilly-chilly here tonight!! The forecast even includes snow!

Amazon

for the woman in the mirror
Facing the woman in the mirror… and getting her to do what she ought: O, what a challenge, sometimes!! I know this. I know this painfully well. And so… I want to share with you some things you might do to help the woman in the mirror. Don’t “muddle” through life… there is help and […]...
