The Power of Perspective
“Remember, you can handle anything in the moment. It’s the fear of what might happen that undoes us.” ~ Unknown Why is it that we need a crisis to happen in order for change to take place? For me, I’ve realized it’s all about perspective. It’s ironic. I’ve spent the last 12 years educating myself…

Staying Positive in Challenging Times
There’s no denying that the world today is different. Some say we are living in an Age of Fear. For myself, I like to stay abreast of what’s happening in the news and world around me, but I’ve actually gotten to the point where I’m afraid to turn on the news. I don’t want to…
