WHAT IF You Were Already FUTURE YOU?
What if you were already future you? What if you already had the ideal job? What if you had already lost the weight? What if you were already living where you want to live? What if?

It's Almost Spring! What New Choices Will You Make?
Are you ready for spring?
I am!
I am tired of winter, being cooped up or when I am out, navigating the ice and shivering with cold.
I know there are some brave souls out there who keep on jogging, keep up their walks, (Bravo!) and engage in healthy, wonderful, winter sports. And then, there’s the rest of us. The rest of us have been waiting for spring.
