Is it because for them it makes it easier to "label" something so it or that one can be catagorized? Is it something done out of a way to soothe that sometimes, there are no words' - so they try to find some instead of being able to...
I believe that positive change happens when you do things because you really mean it. When your entire being says “yes” to the task at hand, it is no longer work- it is a labor of love. And when you are “...
I was a born power walker. With long legs and an East Coast sense of urgency, walking fast came naturally. It was my exercise of choice, preferred mode of transportation, and an early foray into meditation.
