Member Rosalind Sedacca, CCT wrote this important post. Please read and pass it on!

When will it end?



Have you ever found yourself asking this question??



Perhaps you ask it about a particular day.

About a particular meeting.

About a situation.

About a moment in time.



The real question is….What is IT?
