I’ve been preaching the work/life balance message for more than 20 years now. When asked what one thing summarizes why I do what I do, it would be work/life balance. You see, I haven’t always been good at it. In my twenties, I was climbing the corporate ladder while attending night school to obtain my […]
The Virus More Dangerous than COVID-19
Right now, fear and anxiety are sweeping the country and are creating more harm than the COVID-19 itself. How?

Know Your Why and Purpose
Back in 1997, I started offering consulting services and created my business not out of a desire but out of obedience. I had just gone through a nasty divorce and had nothing emotionally or financially left. I sought the security of a job, but God told me no. He made it very clear to me […]

Be Like Mr. Rogers & Improve All Relationships
I recently saw the Tom Hanks movie, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a story about an incredible human being.

YOUR HEALTH I always encourage my clients to forgo their weight-loss goals from now to New Year’s.
