As big a role as assumption making plays in […]

I have two kids. One is an extremer Stop Life Lens™ and 1 is an extremer Go Life Lens™. (Go Life Lenses™ being oriented towards action – yes, let’s try it, jump in! and Stop Life Lenses™ being oriented towards reflection, rumination and thinking it over – hang on, wait a minute, let me think!). […]
