When Learning the Hard Way - Paves the Journey to Self-Change

A Moment with a Thorn (continued)

This video is a continuation and expansion of my previous post: A Moment with a Thorn 

Sometimes we learn about ourselves, relationships and life itself through simple realisations and insights – supporting us in our journey / process of self change.
