I have written about rest before, but it’s on my mind again lately, especially in the wake of what has been going on in the world and particularly in America. I don’t need to list all of the insane injustices that we’re dealing with. You know what I’m talking about. The reason it’s on my […]

I have been pretty distracted since the Supreme Court handed down its ruling on abortion. How have you been doing? I know a lot of people are upset and angry, and I’m having a lot of emotions too, I just haven’t been able to sort them out quite yet. Let me explain. See, I was

In last week’s blog post, I wrote about the story Rachel Rodgers shares in her book, We Should All Be Millionaires, about how she started getting regular haircuts to feel better about herself and then started making more money because her present self embodied the vision she had of her future self.

I’ve seen a lot of folks sharing online, some I know, some I just follow, about starting new jobs this month—which is AWESOME. What a way to start a new year, with a true fresh start. It’s like wiping the slate clean and the whole rest of the entire year is just full of possibilities
