Do you have a board of directors?
How do you make big decisions? I don't know about you, but I look at my current goals and priorities, make a pros and cons list, and finally, I consult my board of directors. My board of directors is a group of individuals I go to for their opinion, advice, input, and expertise related to [...]

This morning as I brushed my teeth, the phrase, "When God moves, do you?" popped into my head. Excellent question! Last week an influencer contacted me about working on a collaborative project.

5 Ways to Keep Fighting for Your Goals
Friends, what a wild ride I have been on since being bit by a brown recluse. For those of you who do not know, they are venomous spider, with no anti-venom available for treatment.
