My husband randomly comes to give me hugs and forehead kisses while I’m working throughout the day. And you want me to come back to the office? I will fight somebody.

Thailand is an affordable country to visit, the dollar really goes a long way. Even though flight tickets are off-putting, when you get there the cost lowers incredibly. $4 full course authentic Thai meals, $5 massages, $20 per night luxury hotels. Truly worth the visit.

I think it's important to know the difference between being nice and being kind. I don't consider myself nice - nice people typically have weak boundaries & are people-pleasers. Kind people are firm, truthful, have established boundaries and empathy. There's a stark difference.
