Healing Is Not Linear
Monday 6 February Something I have discovered recently is that any path of self-improvement is not going to be easy. As I have said time and time again, life is full of ups and downs. We are like a wave. We rise and fall in a cycle. There are bad parts and good parts. Sometimes…
