Living the Best Life
You never know how you come across to others. It’s something I always wonder about, do you? Last week, I was asked to speak to a group, mostly community organizations and nonprofits, with the purpose of giving them a positive and up lifting message. This gift was given back to me as a summary of […]
Is Living for the Weekend…a Red Flag?
