2016 Goals: The Marathon Is Still On

Is it possible that we are ¾ of the way done with 2016? The other day I noticed Christmas stuff was up in a retail store. My mind rushed to think about my 2016 goals and if I had done what I said I was going to do. Before we know it, the marathon will […]

Expanding Your Comfort Zone

We all have them – those familiar patterns of behavior we resist changing. They become so automatic we hardly even think about them. We like what is familiar and predictable.

Embracing the Freedom of Restrictions

I have found that sometimes working for yourself can be a difficult task. Here are some things that I’ve found to be harder than working a JOB. The hours are often longer than at a job. The health benefits aren’t paid by another company. And sometimes the boss can be a real (hard ass). 🙂 […]
