Take The Pressure Off

Ok, so what is your passion?  You know, that one thing that gets you fired up, is going to be your legacy for this lifetime, that’s your purpose in life, that is going to make you all this money, that is going to give you the life you want to live? …Details

Feed Yourself

Some of us forget to do it. Others are taught that somehow all the doing for others is supposed to magically get it done.  In the end, we need to remember what we tell every small child with enough dexterity to pick up a Cheerio, feed yourself. …Details
