Snack Shack Food for Thought ~ Our Very First Product is..... You. And Me. And Him. And Her. And Them. And Us.

  • Do you find yourself in constant gripe sessions or in creative collaboration?
  • Today, reflect and notice what impact you are having on each of your “meaningless” mini-relationships.
