If You Say A Word Often Enough

Be More Than Ready. Be Present In Your Discipline. Remember Your Gift. Be Grateful For Your Gift And Treat It Like A Gift. Cherish It, Take Care Of It, And Pass It On.

I Think It's Really Important To Give Yourself A Very Big Question That You're Working On That You Can Come Home To.
