Mind Bullet Monday: Skeh-Wee » The Habit Mastery Workshop
“Courage is the mother of all virtues because, without it, you cannot consistently practice any other virtue.” ~Aristotle”
We’ve approached this topic from seemingly every angle possible…
Time for one more.
Skew-Wee.
AlfredAI and I—at your service.

Publishing a book? Skew-Wee.

What are the 3 P’s?
