We’ve all heard about the power of words. The words we use, the way we structure them, and the way we say them all matter. Our outcomes and our success can hinge on the words we use. And the great thing is we don’t need to know big, complex, fancy words to change our outcomes.…
1. Moving video I re-watched this week… I saw this story/video about ten years ago. I’ve never forgotten the gist of the story, but could not remember the details. Last weekend, I searched for it online numerous times, trying every combination of words, but could not find it. Finally, I found it… and it was…

1. Products I love… Massage is very therapeutic. There are many massaging devices on the market, and most do a decent job. I have several.
