The Gift of Advice

The Gift of Advice



‘Tis the season of gifting.  This time of year, we diligently fret over the gifts we wish to give our loved ones and give some thought, possibly selfishly, to the gifts we want to receive.  As I age, I reflect more and more on perhaps the greatest gift I received in my life -- good advice.  Sometimes I was ready to receive that advice,…
