2014 Relationship Lessons Checklist

Since my new year's resolution of "I Matter", it has dawned on me that we are close to completing another month in 2014. I'm checking on you to see how you're doing. If it helps, I made a relationship lessons checklist. Some of these are easy, some are not, but the challenge is in making sure that you stretch yourself along the way.
