Dr. Success Challenge thanks to TUT morning message:  Think of an area of your life you feel discomfort.  Things like your lack of follow up and follow through; your vocabulary before a speech; your finances; the condition of your home — either literally, figuratively or both.  Now imagine that area of comfort at 110% of...Read More

I have had an interesting start to the day.  The messages I am receiving from unrelated sources are giving me a lot to work with, especially as I prepare for Thursday’s final free library event on Don’t Die With Vacation Time on the Books.  I have been cleaning house literally and figuratively.  During the literal...Read More
