Monsters In The Grass
Beware the monsters lurk. Ready to pounce at a moment’s notice when you least expect them, ill-prepared and no energy to fight.
Embrace The Fear Of …
So much of what we do is designed to manage our fears and protect our current status. But what if you threw it all away and started over?

When it comes to setting goals for yourself or your business, it might be time for a change in thinking.
Half Of The Art Of Living Is Resilience
It is not lost on me that life is hard, damn hard. But we assume that most have it under control. It's a myth.
