Oops … I did it again. 🤦♀️ Last night, I let the salty words of others get into my heart and create internal strife. After a truly wonderful evening with my family, I got a Facebook notification and read it. And I allowed my whole evening thereafter to sour. My husband held me as I vented. “They don’t know …”,
