How to Transform Your Relationships

“Remember, nothing will change until you do.” ~Jack Canfield Little Gems of Wisdom & Fun from Mary Lynn Ziemer Can just one person transform a relationship? It sounds impossible, right? But, it's actually not at all. In fact, I see it happen all the time!

Through our own beliefs and actions, we can transform all o
