Stress @ Work

Are you the type who gets easily affected by the words and messages you received throughout the day? Whether the message is verbal or written, I totally understand how negative language can make you upset.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”

That old saying may sound good, but we all know that it’s full of crap. Especially if you have been on the receiving end of hurtful words.

What’s your favorite coffee?

I can’t give a single label as the answer, but there is no doubt that Illy is somewhere at the top of my list. While you can find so many other brands that are easier on the wallet, a good cup of Illy coffee does the trick for me.
