Tell your stories
All of us have a story to tell. At least one. Our life story. Some of us have many stories to tell. So many that we can’t choose which one to start writing… Many of us have different unfinished books. Books that we started years ago and never managed to complete. Why some of […]
Un-learn before it’s too late
Since a very young age, we are told what to do. Parents dictate or in the best case share their life values and views with their children.
