No-Fail Friday: Question for you Read More »
You’ve probably been hearing it for years. Find your passion. Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life. Live your purpose – and so on. And who doesn’t want to feel that way, right? Who doesn’t want to wake up every morning filled with the sense that everything you’re about
This week, we talked about one of the many curveballs that mindfulness can throw you. Most of the time, we think about mindfulness as a strategy for taking things down a notch internally. It is that, but sometimes we may find that the clarity the practice can give us also serves as a catalyst for

You made it! The end of the work and school week is here. Of course, every end is a beginning, which in this case is even better news because it’s quite nearly, almost, officially…the weekend! Beginnings were really our topic of choice this week, anyway, and so of course, they’re also the subject of this
