(Not-so)Secret Talents

Let’s face it: so much of life is getting up the courage to create the life we desire. So much of life, therefore, is getting out of our own way, ignoring that insidious voice inside, advising you to give up before you start, and instead, believing that you’re worth the effort, because what you have…

Connectivity

Increasingly I understand that life, all life, is about relationships…relationships or lack thereof. These relationships determine where and how we live, the jobs we get, the people we date, the movies we like, the music we listen to…etc.  You go to college, for example, as much as for what you are going to learn there,…
