The Wisdom in Blinking
I hope you all had a great week and happy holidays to all that celebrate. Early last week I was having a conversation with a friend that is likely one many of us have had about the nature of people; the idea of “glass half full” versus “glass have empty”. It has been shown in…
Read MoreThe Power of the Fearless Heart
I hope you all had a great week. Last week there was a strong voice in my head loudly pointing out all the things that could go wrong. That voice does not typically take over such a large presence in my mind but this past week it was like a sports commentator offering a play…
Read MoreAttention is Generous
