Ever feel like if one more thing happens, everything will come crashing down around you? As if your life is a delicate house of cards and a light breeze will knock the whole thing over? Sometimes I think I might have everything running along like…
This one is for me. But as I write this, I can think of many other people I know who’ve undergone some form of persecution or challenge. Someone has been laid off, you have an unfair boss, there’s a rumor going around. You can…
