How many compliments do you give someone in a day, a week, or a month? It’s a question I really want you to think about. Would you just walk up to a stranger and give them a compliment?
Happy August
August reminds us all that Fall is right around the corner. As students head back to school, it’s a reminder that time goes by way too fast. I spoke at an event four years ago, and after I spoke, I had a lady come up to me and tell me she has always wanted to own her own coffee shop.
Life is a Journey
As I write my blog for July, I am sitting on an airplane flying back from Texas. I felt the need to quickly write my blog after the incredible event I spoke for. I will admit traveling can be stressful, and I want to tell you about my experience getting to this event.

Happy May! How many of you remember May Baskets. As a child my brothers and I would fill up little dixy cups with candy, decorate them and run around the neighborhood putting them on neighbor’s steps, ring the doorbell and run away.

I’m back! The last few months have been very busy with traveling and work and I have not had much time to dedicate to my blog. That is why my word for this month is DESIRE! Motivation is what get’s you started. DESIRE and habit keep you going.
Being Thankful
I had an experience this month that made me especially thankful. I was speaking in Albany, New York, and was then scheduled to fly to Minneapolis, Minnesota, for another appearance. Due to weather, my flight to Minneapolis was cancelled and I started to panic.
