Happy New Year! 2018 can either be your best year ever…or it can be another year of avoiding and procrastinating growing your business! I spent New Year's Day introducing Dan to the rest of my family. He met two (out of three) of my brothers, as well as my youngest...

In some shape or form, I’ve been studying “criminals” my entire life — people who break the law, do bad things, and have no remorse about it. Honestly, it fascinates me. But I’ve had to learn how to turn that fascination into something healthy. For instance, I get...

Happy Sunday! I spent all of last week in Los Angeles (Burbank/North Hollywood area) to attend a dance training by Galen Hooks -- one of the world's top choreographers. She's also a dancer and creative director. Her training (part of The Galen Hooks Method) was...
