Last week I wrote "Quality not quantity" as the first in a series of 4. Its based on the "Four Agreements" book (movement). The hardest of the agreements, agreements with myself, however, was (not is): Don't take things personally. I say was because now its just how I'm wired. The best reason to ...

My friend Joan makes great points! Don't DIY if you don't know what you are doing. To add to that, don't DIY anything requiring licensed trades ie electrical, plumbing, or HVAC.
