Closed doors, blocked paths. We all face them.  At one point or another, we find them in our way.  It could be permanently or could just be a season.  Sometimes we are facing them every day.  Sometimes we go stretches where they become a distant memory.

Let\’s Talk Goals

We are half way through 2018.  Midway through is a good time to take a look any goals that you set at the start of the year. How do you set your goals?  Track them?  How often do they get forgotten about?  I will admit, I set goals.  It is what I do.  I likeContinue reading “Let\’s Talk Goals”
