Hey Mama Monday: Mama, Build Someone Up Today

Hey Mama, Today, focus on building up. I saw a cool meme on Facebook which said something to the effect of, “You can tell who the strong women are . . . they’re the ones building others up instead of tearing them down.” It’s easy to do this with ourselves (Eeyore Syndrome), but we also
