  • Overwhelming Kindness

    Overwhelming Kindness

    I recently had a bit of a situation as some of you will be aware, and yes it was of my own making. I will also admit that I took a bit of a confidence hit with it too. I let stress overwhelm me and made some very big mistakes because of it. But it…
