From my coaching experience, I’ve found that […]

Nighttime

When would I ever advise you not to exercise?  I can think of two situations. The first is if the doctor tells you not to, due to illness or injury.  My number one rule is to follow your doctor’s advice.  If you don’t want to do as your physician instructs, please find another doctor, one […]

Show Up to Receive with Grace and Ease

Successful Singles Show Up

Showing up is essential for singles, whether they embrace their single status and intend to remain that way or they desire to meet that special someone.  To show up means to get out there, try new things, meet new folks, and fully participate.
