I haven’t always felt that I deserved the best of things. In a strange way, I felt it was being haughty or selfish to expect the best of everything. Life’s journey had whispered and told me I should just be grateful for what I did have. The truth is I wasn’t living my “best life”Continue reading “Worthy”
