Hey Chris, I need a backbone…got a spare? No seriously, I’m struggling with something that I hope you can help me with. I feel so good about the fact that I can, finally, say “no” when needed. I was a bit of a doormat and discovered that it’s just not the end of the world

How many experiences have you looked back at with regret? I can tell you that there are only a handful in my life…and they mostly revolve around love…but that’s a story for another day. I love how Twain gives us an easy “pass” on those regrets that just bring a smile to your face. Just
