Power of Yes
By Jessica Del Llano I recently read an article in the Huffington Post in which the writer decided for one day she’d say “yes” as often as possible to her toddler son. Prompted by one small comment from her son that “[he’d] be more happier if [she’d] say ‘yes’,” she realized just how much [...]
