September 6, 2016 By Kim Cox

exuding energy and absorbing energy

We all exude and absorb energy and we all are more naturally adept to one or the other. Whichever one isn’t natural for you, that is where your work is. Since I absorb, I am writing this from my point of view. I mean no disrespect to those that exude, rather the contrary. I know […]

Don’t get me wrong, I am all for marriage equality and I am very happy when people achieve a goal they believe in and accomplish — woohoo!! Oh, and this has nothing to do with sexual preferences (to me, the gay community has far more depth than sexuality), so check your judgments at the door […]
