What is one small action I can take today to feel more joy in my life? What is one tiny step I can take to move forward on my goals? These are the two questions I ask myself every morning in 2020.

I was talking with a friend at the gym a few weeks ago. An energetic super-positive big-hearted guy. We were sharing intentions about what we wanted to focus on in the coming year. He mentioned his dream is to someday start an orphanage in his native country. He mused, “When I’m 40…” (quite a few
With mid-term elections upon us, are you as tired as I am about the overwhelming amount of anxiety, frustration, anger, disappointment, blame, fear (and fear-mongering), and hopelessness and desperation in our country? Whatever happens on Nov 6th, some part of our community will likely continue to feel that way. When I read about the idea
