What I Learned from not Speaking up

Recently, I was in a situation where I didn't like how someone was being treated. There were other people with me, and they didn't like it either. However, none of us spoke up. Later, as I was reflecting on that moment, I was a little ashamed of myself. I had seen someone placed in a…

Do you Fear Putting Yourself out there?

When I first started this blog, I had a mild panic every time I hit the publish button. Will this be the time that I embarrass myself and offend all of my followers? As time progressed, I learnt to take a deep breath, adjust how I was being, and hit send. I accept that not…
