"We need each other. Why? Because you can’t give yourself a good haircut." ~ Seth Godin We need each other. As human beings, we’re not meant to go it alone. Yet when life gets busy, when we’re stressed out, overworked and stretched just a little too thin we tend to pull our energies in, pare down to what is essential, and just focus on getting through this and getting the next thing done.

What To Do When You Feel You Can’t
We’ve all had those moments when you feel you can’t….. You don’t know what to do… It hasn’t worked in the past… I’m not the type of person who fixes, creates or achieves that… I’m too tired, to exhausted, too young, too old….

A New Year and Top Nine
A year ago today… Do you remember what you were doing? Do you remember where you were? How you felt? What you were grateful for? What you were hoping for?
