As you pointed out, there's an opportunity to add value in someway or the other throughout the spectrum. I've been noticing subtle nuances of judgement in giving more value to one versus the other. If it is in your flow, perhaps you can shine some light on it. :-)bhoutikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12009502116524021536noreply@blogger.com
