Bob's ThoughtsEp. 015 - Saying I Love YouChallenge: pay very close attention to the entertainment you consume... how often do you hear the characters say the phrase "I Love You"? How often do you say it? Do you only say it to family? I ponder these thoughts and share my own on the vulnerability of saying this simple, yet powerful phrase.
