Turns out she wasn’t. She was just taking advantage of me like she…

Remember all of the fun that you had as a kid when you were playing with clay or playdoh? You were practicing a very essential skill that you will use the rest of your life. You were imagining something in your mind and then creating it; you were making it real. And that is precisely the same thing you do each time you have a dream. You are seeing it in your mind and then…
Today marks the middle of the week for most of us. And it will be the day that you choose to make it. You can look back at the beginning of the week and focus on your accomplishments for motivation. You can also examine the tasks that have not yet been completed and plan to increase your productivity if that is what it takes to wrap up the week with great triumph. The only mistake…
