Blogger notes : Keep moving, no matter how slow you think you are going.

                                            Blogger notes         Keep moving, no matter how slow you think you are going Hello Storytime readers, I felt the need to write another blogger note.

He told me everyone who even knows you a little bit, knows that you are growing fast. It stuck to me because in my mind and from my experience it didn't feel that way. It put me into a different perspective.

The universe and nature only develop us. Som

I do believe that self-love can be a key ingredient for improving the quality of life. Self-love is not a lesson that can be taught in a few classes or stories.

                  5 ways to overcome distractions Distractions, distractions, distractions are everywhere.  Even I fall victim to distractions. There is a reason why they say you have to face the monster to be able to slay it. Or in my case, I just made friends with it for a while. We chilled and a lot of procrastination happened.
