Life is fragile and far too short to waste. We learn this time and time again whether it be through an untimely death of a family member/someone we know, a fight with a friend that's lost forever, or when we choose not to follow a dream, sign, or passion. This is a powerful reminder that [...]
by Jenifer Truitt, Ziglar Family If I asked you to name three things that are wrong with this world we live in today, I bet it would take you less than 5 seconds to rattle them off. If pressed, you could probably also share an opinion or two about what could be done to 'make [...]
