I was going through my 'blogworthy' file for ideas and came across a clipping from the Times--an article in the PREOCCUPATIONS column by Pam Slim, a successful business coach and author of Escape from Cubicle Nation. It's entitled Is This the Time To Follow Your...
What a relief to read this wonderful volume and be affirmed for behaviors that rarely get affirmed. I'm talking about the new book sensation called Quiet whose subtitle is: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. If you've met me within the last...
Much of my journey as a Soul Proprietor has been directed by signs from the Universe that I'm going in the right direction. I believe in The Secret, the Law of Attraction and Earl Nightingale's Strangest Secret. Each of these doctrines points to becoming what you...
