Unfortunately unlike pencils with erasers our mistakes stay in the minds of individuals. Although we make many mistakes throughout life we are not defined by those mistakes or bad decisions.

Resolution-ists fill up gyms, book clubs, and writer’s groups each January, but they (we?) never seem to make any real changes. I have given up on resolutions all together, and over the last few years I have found some great (life changing!) things that actually work. 1. Quit One Thing Nobody likes a quitter. Sometimes, however, our lives get insane, and we have too much activity to live authentically or spend time with the people... [Read the full story]
