February 25, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Luxury living starts with a mink coat and a diamond ring? Of course it does, Dahling. Why not add a private jet and mansions in different time zones?

SURRENDER CELEBRATION FOR GIVING UP

February 5, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Surrender celebration starts after you’re done. Whatever it was you were working on, when it’s done, you’re done. You’re not going to make anything better at some point. That’s when you need to know how to walk away.
