Do Now for Change Later
Weather changes on a dime, but often we are fortunate enough to have a forecast of what is coming. Life is not so predictable. Often, change comes out of nowhere.

Don’t Sprint the Marathon: Positive Changes take Pacing
26.2 You’ve probably seen the sticker, and chances are you know someone who actually earned the sticker. 26.2 This number represents the amount of miles run to complete a marathon.

We have spent the past two weeks settling-in and sight-seeing. We are tourists in our new town, and thoroughly… Read more »
