Have you ever wanted someone to be more than what they are? That probably sounds really abstract - in fact, I know it does. But right now I mean it within the context of a friendship. I believe that I am not alone when I say that there are some people in my life who… Continue reading Steadfast Wish

Question: Corporate Afrika
