What a week. I don’t know about you, but for me – this week was exhausting. If I am honest, I did not “practice what I preach”.
Transparency!! As someone that is committed to guiding people through transforming their work into something that they love doing, I let myself down this week. I did not live up to my own standards. Work took on a bigger role in my life than I should have allowed it to, and I wasn’t working out of love of the work. I tried to push through rather than working with the…

Hope that you are having a great week! As usual, here’s a sampling of some of the things on my mind and ideas I have been exploring over the past week.
While summer is a great time for rest, relaxation, and some time outdoors, it can also be a great opportunity for reflection on what you might do to improve things.
