Encouragers! Let’s Unite!

You were noticed! You also know that some of those employees have been taught to say something encouraging to you like “I love your hair”…
Maybe Life isn’t Meant to Take so Seriously
Receiving inspiration for my daily blog is serious matter to me. Thinking that I needed to make this day’s blog to be one of encouraging those who are in pain physically, or mentally from the loss of their job, special events or even the loss of a loved one, I scanned my social media timeline.…
