    Time with yourself is not only necessary, its required
    Apr 15 2024

You re in the right place....

If you want to learn what has been going on in your relationship that has left you wondering "Who does this sort of thing?", "Why are they treating me this way?" "Why am I so confused about who they are?" you are in the right place. Paul is a huge help to people like us.
