I am going to admit, I was quite skeptical of this whole vision concept at first. I wasn’t sure how writing down my dreams or creating a vision board could actually help me manifest what I want for my life. It took me a while in my professional career to write out my first 10-year […]

Today is a big day in our home! Our daughter is wrapping up her kindergarten year of school. I am filled with a mix of emotions. There is a huge part of me that is excited to break free from virtual home school and the constant battle to encourage reading, writing and focusing on work […]

On Saturday, I attended the Rise x Live virtual conference. Admittedly, I hesitated attending.

In addition to celebrating weekly wins, goal achievers carve […]

The pandemic is bringing industries to a screeching halt, negatively impacting the economy, evoking fear in the general public and forcing […]
