It is Today
If you only do one productive thing today let it be this… Today, let go of things that no longer serve the good for you. If the thing no longer fits your dream, your happiness or your life goal, let go of it. This includes people, jobs, things in your home, your home, any thing…

Porn
Now that I have your attention… Shock words like “porn”, “sex”, “free”, “money”, “racism”, and others make humans do a double take when the word is written or spoken.
