It's hard sometimes to commit to make a big change or train for a big event. It takes commitment, self-confidence and a plan. It can be daunting and overwhelming, and doesn't always go according to plan. But you show up and have just taken that first step towards achievement. You are on your way. That … Continue reading You Are On Your Way…
“Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.” – Georges Clemenceau Today is my birthday, and I'm giving you a present. Or maybe it's just some unsolicited advice that you don't need. Or maybe you need to hear (err see) some of it. 31 was the year I really took a hard look at … Continue reading Much Ado About 32…
