Forming New Habits
How’s the new year going so far? Are you on track with your plan? Looking back and ahead at the same time is emotionally exhausting, but an important way to determine what worked, what needs improvement, and how to close the gap between how you spend

Be Prepared to Get Messy
It’s a new year, and there is so much potential. We have New Year’s resolutions, great plans and a new outlook of what can be. It’s kind of like being a race horse behind the start gate, and you know that you have the potential to run, and stretch

Are You Building Walls?
The hype about building walls to maintain borders is entering through both ears and eyes today, as the US President tries to convince his opposition of a strategy for protection and division. I too am sitting with the idea of building walls; but these
