Here’s a sneak peek about icing your concerns when you run into a emergency situation:
When somebody walks in and drops a big emergency in our laps we tend to get caught up in the moment and we tend to want to move forward, plunge in, and fix that issue immediately.

Before setting new year’s resolutions, what did you learn from last year?
Last January, I wrote this post about what I wanted to accomplish in 2015. The concept I used to help me set my goals was based on identifying one word that reflected your priorities. So here am I, one year later, with information to share on how I did. In truth, things did not work out as I […]
