“I don’t think I can do it.” There is no other expression that irks me more. People around me use it all too often, and most of the time *without* thinking. What makes people say that? I feel that we are all perfectly capable of doing anything and everything that comes over way. We may…

The eternal need to be pampered
No matter how old we grow, how mature we get, how many greys we have in our hair, there is small kid inside us who needs attention, care, love and pampering. I would go much further to declare that we, adults, need it more often, more badly than kids. Kids have a different world….
