It all starts with creating a new paradigm for oneself and applying the values and traits we have been learning about in the second half of the course.

women entered, inside the car started smelling like the cologne isle at Macy’s. As we pay our way through the highway, the usually shy driver is enthusiastic as he describes to me (the only visitor) what was along the way.
