This is a good reminder that we need to check behind the curtain, under the lid, and behind the firewalls for all of the negatives that may come from something that looks so good on the surface. I’m not trying to be a party pooper; I’m just using it as a contemporary example of why we need to look further into things that may be shiny, look and feel good.
Much love and all my best!
