Goal: Ask, Perhaps You'll Receive
Part of the Goals 2010 Challenge Series, Goal 11 If I still bit my nails, I would be biting them, but this was a previous goal I did accomplish. The next goal in this series has my stomach in knots. What is this daunting task? I have to ask my director a question. That’s it! […]
