Could there be a lil Victim in your coffee?

It’s so subtle. Victim mentality shows up in the shadows. It’s not always overt. It can sneak into an insignificant lil moment where you just feel sorry for yourself the smallest bit. It only needs a tiny hole to get in like a mouse or an odor. And it will stink up your entire day. […]
