Morning friend, In a few days, we will be into a New Year. What kind of year would you like to create for yourself? (Pause…and answer that question please). You don’t have total control of all of your external circumstances, but you do have a say on how you will see them, handle them, or […]
Should I Love The Unlovable?
Morning friends, I hope you are doing something for yourself this season to recharge your spirit. This year normal holiday festivities are changed.

He Says He’s Trying To Build Trust, But I Don’t Trust Him
Morning friends, I hope you had a relaxing and fun Labor Day weekend. The weather was beautiful here in the White Mountains and I probably walked close to 20 miles over the 3-day weekend.
