Fuel Your Inner Drive
I had a situation where my greatest defect of character raised its ugly head. I love and care about people. My authentic nature is to put the human soul first. Often in life, we are asked to do what needs to be done. We are asked, not to break rules or cause harm, but to [...]
Make the holidays memorable by focusing on what guests will remember We’re in the midst of Passover, and Easter is a few days off. Women everywhere are beginning to stress about how clean the house is, when they will find time to buy groceries, and what they will serve for the family meal. Not to [...]
I have experienced more major life changes in the past two years than I ever thought I would be willing to undertake. The details of these changes are less important than how this period of concentrated change triggered an internal transformation process along my self-development journey. I am grateful for the resilience that has been [...]
