Portia Nelson, Autobiography

It very simply captures how we progress and make changes for the better in our lives, and how we gradually change attitudes and behaviors that are NOT working for us.

Enjoy!

New Quiz – Healthy vs. Unhealthy Relationships

I’ve just added a quiz to my website, you can find it at the bottom of this page:

Take the quiz and learn about healthy and unhealthy relationships. I’ve written it so that “unhealthy” is in terms of different types of abuse. I hope you find it helpful!
