In pursuit of a specific document that I put together a few months back, I took a trip down Memory Lane. It was quite the journey, though I didn’t find the document I set out for! But it got me to thinking about where I am now versus where I was with some of these […]

The Best Year of Your Life

This year could be the best year of your life! No matter where you are right now, a simple perspective shift has the potential to lead to that.
