A mom is a consultant, counselor, teacher, trainer, advisor, mentor, and coach. Our children prepare us for entrepreneurship more than we sometimes care to realize or acknowledge. No wonder we call it MOMpreneurship. When I embarked in the business of having babies, I set the intention to raise conscious individuals. As a free spirit myself, …

Have you had one of those days when you get all that “precious” stuff you’ve been saving for years out of a box, a drawer, or wherever it may reside, to find a new home for them, that usually ends up being the trashcan? Whew…what a long question! With my long days staying home with …
I am a confessed bookworm. Reading is quite a passion…perhaps even an addiction for me. I love books. I love every kind of book. Print books, e-books, PDF books, Kindle, iBooks, audiobooks, you name it. I love knowledge and information. I know, as much as any C Level executive or business entrepreneur, male or female, …

I grew up around a wood workshop and my dad was patient enough to let me “help him” several times. I love pretty much anything that looks like, smells like, or is made out of wood. When I read Luke 6:41 for the first time, it left a big impression for I was well familiar with this …

Gratitude, like many other virtues and/or positive values, is a learned character trait that should be taught as early on as possible in a child’s life. Gratitude is a WHOLE Family principle because increases the quality of our lives and the ones of those …
Nowadays, kids are born with an innate inclination and gift for technology, media, and telecommunications. Just give a toddler an iPad and you’ll see what I mean. Technology truly fascinates me. It is amazing what you can do with it and what it can do for you. But this can be a double-edged sword. I …
People are sometimes surprised when I say I started my first guerrilla entrepreneurial career at 7 years old. This was in no way an accident. For as long as I knew, my dad owned a carpentry and furniture design workshop, which for most of my childhood was located right at the back of our house, …
