Helping Yourself:  How do you stay grounded? What does being grounded mean to you? For me, it means being unmovable, being stable, being centered in my truth with the confidence to stand my ground… When you are floundering, when life gets chaotic, when things don’t make sense – that is when you need to seek […]

Structure: What does your business structure look like?  Is it working for your business? A lot of businesses don’t really put a lot of thought into their structure set up and fly by the seat of their pants just going through the motions every day.  Everyone just does what they believe they need to do, […]

Helping People:  There are lots of ways that we help each other – building fences or sheds, helping with renovations, moving, cooking, cleaning, driving people around, doing errands – all sorts of things. We help others, others help us, it’s kind of a life cycle. What I find very interesting though in the process is […]
