Did you know…It’s not of your business what others think about you?
My wise mother used to say… “ birds of a feather flock together” and… when I would say “ so and so is doing it” she would say “ if So and so jumped off a bridge would you?” She always had a point but I didn’t understand this fully until I became an adult. I have made...
