This post is co-authored by Susan Simkins.

A History of Easy Updates Manager – A WordPress Plugin

Ronald Huereca on August 27, 2016

Easy Updates Manager began as with any WordPress plugin: a line of code.

The True Cause of Mental Illness

Let’s talk about survival. Everybody has fight or flight built into them. When a person is confronted with conflict, it’s either fight or flight.

It’s what I call the change cycle. Person A wants to change your behavior, so you are either submissive (flight), or you try to to change Person A’s behavior (fight).
