Happy Friday, y’all! If you are in the mid-Atlantic or northeastern US, I hope you’ve stocked up on your beer/wine, chips and cookie dough, because you’re in for a snowy weekend! (What exactly do people do with all that milk and bread??) If whatever you do offers you an opportunity to pause, take it. It’s

This time of year, many of our thoughts turn to our habits, routines and plans for the future. We’ll get more into all of this when my longer posts resume next week, but for now, some food for thought as you begin to shape your year – and the days that comprise it – ahead.
Good morning! It’s back to reality for many of us this week, and the home stretch for those of you cranking out those Round 2 applications. As you get back at it this week, remember that you are creating your reality through your perspective. If it doesn’t look good, then change it. 2016 is yours
