Dusting off those relationships

Dusting off those relationships

How do you want to be remembered? Is it for the things you’ve accomplished? Maybe the awards and “stuff” you’ve collected?  What about the people we’ve been blessed with along this journey? I’m a competitive person by nature. I like to set a goal and then go for...
