Are you living with blame… or shame… or both? Is your past continually slapping you in your face? Are you a candidate for the old sing-song rhyme: ‘nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess I’ll go eat worms’? Granted, not an appetizing rhyme but one that totally dates me.

Such a strange phrase… and yet it is universally used though rarely defined. Often the phrase is used to distinguish a major event that changes the course of (fill in the blank).
