460. Lonely Guy Thursday: Seeing the World as a Dark Place Only Attracts That
And on this very special Better Together RGF crossover (think when Laverne and Shirley appeared on Happy Days) we bring you BT 'Lonely Guy Thursday Edition' as Keven sits in solo for Maria, Pooja and Kelsey. Gratitude for what family and loved ones have done for us AND what they failed to do. Sometimes in relationships, you can do the work for both of you to heal. Sometimes we think we are helping others but really they are helping us, even our furry friends. Seeing the world as dark place only attracts that. The positive truth about #WaltDisney. The universe is always speaking to us. Keep listening and if you haven't seen HBO Max 'Somebody Somewhere' then you're missing out on a work of beauty, learning and inspiration.. The great Larry Miller says if you have a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in and people that love you, it's game's over. YOU WON! Stay lonely, stay #krisp.
