What do I most dislike about myself and need to accept?

Small business is familiar ground for me. I don’t personally own a small business, but I did marry into a family who did. I was a part of that for 18 years, until the business was sold, and ultimately run into the ground under the new ownership. And now — my […]

When I was growing up, only men who had been in the Navy had tattoos. I’m sure that is a stero-type, and that there were others that had tattoos as well. But I do know for sure that they did not have the popularity they have today. Everyone — men and women […]
