I think a lot can be learned about human nature from little kids at the dinner table. Take mushrooms for example. Most of my kids at first glance wanted nothing to do with them. Uncooked they have a different sort of texture. When cooked they are slimy and squishy. It is such a mystery to …
When I was a teenager, you could often find me awake at 3am working in exhaustion to complete a project due the next morning. In all honesty completing the project was never the issue. The project was probably done, and done well. The issue for me was this pressure I put on MYSELF for it …
In 2017 I discovered that there was a whole world out there I didn’t even know existed. I discovered that the good life I was living could be so much better. I found out that there were amazing people called Life Coaches that specialized in helping people like me, manage my mind. I was confused …
