Let’s Eliminate “Just a” From Our Vocabulary!
I asked a young woman what she did for a living and she responded: “Oh, I’m just a stay-at-home Mom.” I quickly corrected her “You are NOT “just an” anything. You are so blessed to be able to be in a position of the highest honor and status. You are the royal queen of your…
GRACE…..so AMAZING!!
