Resolve to Reinvent – December 31, 2017

As you walk into 2018, rather than lining out and piling up all the changes you expect to mark in your life over the next 12 months, consider resolving yourself to constant reinvention and perpetual beginning. Every moment can mark the start of a new cycle and represent a…

Moving the Boundary Lines – December 17, 2017
