New Year’s Resolution - Put Your Money…

Words By Patrick M. …Where your mouth is. I’m into the practice of New Year’s resolutions. I recognize that, as much as I love myself, I’m a flawed human being who’s prone to bad habits and obnoxious behaviors. And vices. Oh the vices. My life is a constant battle, as...
