Exploring my mother’s default response
Day 3 of 21 Days of Courage… My mother’s default response to most things she couldn’t instantly fix and that were not actually down to her anyway was: ‘It’s not my fault. I can’t help it.’ I don’t recall when I first became consciously aware of this but I...
Do I have the courage of my convictions? Yes — and then again, no…

Please let me know if I catch your attention — all feedback most welcome!
