Do you know the lyrics to “Let it Go?” Or how about the lyrics to the Fresh Prince theme song? When you’re young it’s so much easier to memorize. Children are like little sponges.

We throw money down the drain every time we take the easy way out and allow somebody else to create for us. Continue Reading…
