I Did Not Have a Choice

But I Didn't Have a Choice...I Had to Make that Decision!
 

This is a quick post. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever used the phrase, "I didn't have a choice"? Certainly we make choices at times because there seems to be no other alternative.

Watch Out for Post Election Shame

Have You Been a Victim of Post-Election Shame?
