On Saturday I had an experience that I’m not accustomed to on Twitter. I was tweeting with someone I had never had any previous dialogue with. She asked a question about her training and, after a series of exchanges she asked, “How are you doing today? I hate talking about me all the time.” I […]
CONTINUE READINGLook at one of your legs. I mean really look at it. Now, imagine waking up and not having that leg. Visualize it. Think about what your life would be like.
