Blessed Or Cursed?Are you blessed or cursed with a burden? I suppose you should inquire as to what the burden is. What if the burden is being so good at what you do that you are deemed essential?

Swept Up Following Life Of An Influencer
Point Of ViewI sit in my bed, the clock hands reading just past noon, as I watch this influencer show her “Day in the Life Routine.” She starts her morning by rising out of her queen-sized bed with white linen sheets at 5:00 am.
