With the start of a new year, it’s almost inevitable to feel excited about the future, while reflecting upon the year we leave behind. It’s a great time to ask ourselves: What worked well? What can we do differently? What do I most want to create in my life? These questions allow us to learn …
I’ll cut to the chase: I’m not a fan of resolutions, simply because I believe they don’t really work. I agree that starting a New Year is a great opportunity to start over, but the fact that only about 8 percent of people who make these resolutions really stick to them, tells us that despite our …
Whether it’s for Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanza, in December, we make the time to focus on celebrating miracles, faith, and family. I love the bright lights, the joyful music, the giving spirit.

In today’s society, perfectionism seems widely accepted. After all, what’s wrong with high expectations? I get that. I believe in setting standards for your life and developing a self-awareness that drives me to become a little better every day, to pursue happiness, and excellence.There’s a fine line, though. Perfectionism is the enemy of Greatness. Perfectionism …
