By: Gabriela Yareliz May I just say that this weekend taught me an important lesson on the value and importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded people. Thank you, brunch from hell. #lessonlearned Some people are just there, waiting to hack at you with a machete, or they want to take you with them on a spiral intoContinue reading “Like-minded People”
