Motivational Monday!
I was listening to a guided meditation over the weekend, and the instructor was defining fear based on a quote she had heard which was, "fear is the distraction between you and your potency." I thought that was a really good description, although I would most likely...
Friday’s Quote
"If you try and fail, congratulations...most people don't even try." ~Unknown Well, Unknown, you nailed it again! It's Friday, so let's keep it simple. First, if we don't try, it won't likely happen, right? There is a very small possibility of some random moment of...
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

The Ted Lasso Effect

Keep Your Hand Up
I was reading a really great story yesterday about Sheryl Sandberg. She had given a speech to about 100 Facebook employees and a little while afterword, there was a woman who had attended the speech, who waited outside Sandberg's office so she could chat with her. ...
