Smile! They’ll Wonder What You’re Up To

Smile! They’ll Wonder What You’re Up To

Smiling?  Really? Yes. Have you taken a look around? There are a LOT of frowny faces looking back at you or more likely, not looking at you at all! Are people really that unhappy? Angry?

I don’t like living this way! OMG, how many times did I say that to myself the last couple of months of 2015? Hell, I even wrote it on my whiteboard. Must have been some serious sh*t happening there. And what was it all about? Things that the year before I said I was going to do differently. And here I was doing the same damn thing … again. I made a Facebook video recently in which I ventured, “if you…
