Scaling Back
A couple of months ago, I was gathered with some very smart ladies at Cultivate Her and having a discussion about relationships. (No, not the juicy kind.) And my wise friend Eve Annuziato said something I keep coming back to.
Eve said that when she turned 30 she sat down and created three lists: Very Important People, Very Draining People, and Very Negative People.
