I just returned from my one-week business trip to New York. I am constantly amazed at how many incredible people you can meet in such a short period of time when you open your mind and your heart and let the light in. The possibilities are infinite! On my first day, I walked from the [...]
Do you ever ask yourself if you are doing all that you can mentally, spiritually, and physically? This weekend I realized that perhaps I have been out of balance. Over the last several years, I have been laser focused on my mental and spiritual growth. Never have I felt so sure about the path that [...]
