Hello Everyone!
I attend a monthly gathering called Brother 2 Brother Live. It is a gathering of African American Same Gender Loving men who come together, talk, and fellowship. Earlier this year one of the topics was "The 30 Most Amazing Things About Me," and we each answered the following questions about ourselves. I think too often we focus on the negatives about ourselves. I know for the longest that was the only thing I would focus on myself. One of the promises I made to myself for this next year is that I am going to focus and enhance on my positives, and forgive and work on my negatives. I have found that these questions have helped me, and I invite you to answer the questions as well to discover the 30 Most AMAZING Things About yourself.
