Watching Them Watch Me
Love is a golden vessel, containing, by its very nature, both joys and sorrows. The poignant reality of this human condition is beautifully shown in a recent memoir from the New York Times, sent to us by Alain Hunkins, The MKP Journal’s Corporate Leadership & Facilitation Contributing Editor.
