WORKING WITH WHAT-IFS OF LIFE- #021
Is the grass really green on the other side of the fence? Can we inhabit a parallel universe where we can experience the alternative outcomes of the roads not taken? Join the conversations on the fuzziness and uncertainties of life by subscribing, sharing and leaving comment(s). If you have opposing or different ideas, I would love to hear from you.
