One thing I had to do was definitively forgive the people who rented our house – Tony and Angel. They destroyed it – cost us $150,000 to repair it and we’re not done yet. We still have the basement to fix. Their negligence ripped us out of our life and forced a new life on …

We went over things that worked last year (obviously, I didn’t get to take …
