Take time to get re-centered

A few months ago I accepted a challenge to myself to do a daily blog around the trilogy of being healthy, wealthy, and wise.  Lately, I haven’t been keeping up with the daily challenge.  I was feeling overwhelmed with work, life, training, and struggling to find a balance for it all. I recently followed my…

Friendship over opinions

I feel very blessed that I’ve got a group of friends in which I can talk politics and know that my friendship is not in jeopardy over a difference of opinion.  It’s especially apparent to me in times of particular heated topics, like this recent tragic mass murder in Orlando.  As soon as I read…
