ByDonna Weber November 7, 2012July 15, 2025

Do you have too many negative people in your life? Do people in your life hold you back or bring you down? It seems like negative people are everywhere.

Last week a client sent me a thank-you e-mail and I want to quote part of it. “In my view, I am a cleaner, lighter being in my core as a result of your work.
