I heard a quote today saying "I have too much to lose, I have to be cautious." I have always connected "caution" to "fear". A negative connection, but I understand the sentiment behind this quote. I just hate the thought of living in fear - doing ANYTHING in fear. When you truly sit down and…
It's funny watching lingo change over time. Words can change meaning quickly and keeping up with the times can become difficult if you aren't plugged in. A word that is thrown around a lot is "vibe".
