Today my dogs and I, together with some friends, hiked to a waterfall. The hike was a difficult one for me and I was nervous it would be difficult for my dogs as well. The truth is, until we got in the car, I thought we were going to a different waterfall, an easier one … Continue reading Fear, Doubt, and Underestimating

Note to Self 6
We all have something to offer. Everyone knows something you don't know. You have something to learn and receive from every single person you meet. Don't miss that.
