Starting Over… and Over and Over…

If you’re anything like me, you’ve made a mistake or two in your life. Come to think of it, there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t screw something up. This leads to a constant cycle of restarting things that I do to correct my mistakes and try to get back on the […]
