The morning temperatures are not what I want them to be. But as I stare out my window or drive down the road, I have no doubt that the season is changing. Many trees have buds. The first blooms of Spring are evident. Take this as a lesson similar to, but more expressive than, paint...Continue reading→

#MotivationMonday Weather is such a great metaphor for the rainy, cold, warm, thunderstorm, sunny, mix that are the emotions. But, alas!

I completed 4 game plans this week. I cannot remember a time in the past when I completed 4 in 5 days.
