Tip of the week-

Forgiveness is giving up the hope of a better past.

In this life, no one is going to escape having something happen that is unkind or unfair. When you let things that do not bring you joy and that truly serve no purpose to be on your agenda that consumes a lot of what you can give out to yourself, and all the people + things that matter to you.

Fun Fact of the week: The smallest country in the world takes up .2 square miles: Vatican City.
