Did that grab your attention? Many, many people tell you to work smarter, not harder. I know, in my head, what that means. But, in reality, that has never worked for me! I usually work harder, stop, then work smarter! And, that means, I didn’t work smarter in the first place. I don’t really mean …
Not mine anyway… My mom didn’t wear dresses as she got older. In fact, the last time I can remember her wearing a dress was for my youngest sister’s wedding in 1984! And, I just happen to have it as well as the one she wore to my wedding. I have no idea why I …
