EPISODE CXII: THE ANATOMY OF A VENDETTA


 We all experience very fierce fights with family members, loved ones, friends, etc.  The trick is to understand that a disagreement should be just that,  There should be respect and love in every situation but tensions can boil and make it very hard to see it that way and make it personal.  I look at my own experiences in this piece, and talk about what I think will work as I am trying to apply it now.  I hope you have lots of love in your life, but remember it starts with you.

EPISODE CXI: THE WANTING AND THE PATIENCE
