And, just have fun

Lousy Mind Readers

Lousy Mind Readers In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz tells us to not make any assumptions. That is great advice that we tend to do a poor job of following. We think we know what is going on with people. We think that we can read their minds. When in truth we don’t have […]
