Decide What to Be
Both Hills and Valleys: Decide What to Be by Michelle Roberts Every accomplishment starts with a decision to try. I’ve never been one to mull over a decision for long and don’t have much patience for people who do. I’m working on that, by the way. I meet customers all the time who want to […]

Both Hills And Valleys: Live in the Present
