Making a Difference
I was inspired this morning by an email that I received from Oprah. No, not a personal email, I am on her ‘list’ but the content was very thought provoking and I wanted to share it… On my way back from Africa, where I’ve spent the past week teaching my [...]
Getting Out of a Funk

Contrary to [...]

Forget About Will Power
How often have you thought or heard: “I just don’t have the will power…” Today I encourage you to forget about will power! What is will power anyway? The discipline needed to achieve something?
