  • Do I REALLY want to do this?

    From Christmas day 1994 – my official resignation date, I have quit several times but never left my self-employed gig. Yet despite all those years and supposed learnings, sometimes I actually believe the shit my brain is throwing at me.

  • Tune into your body – your guide to better health

  • You are “ENOUGH”

    How does that statement make you feel? Comfortable? Doubtful? Anxious? In my walk through life I’ve met many people who don’t feel adequate. They pursue additional degrees, take extra courses, and enlist to participate in product trials and experiments, all with a view to improving themselves; to make themselves more worthy, more deserving, more attractive.
