How To Connect With Someone Over The Phone

As communication expert Steven Gaffney talks about, "Tone is 5 times the impact of the words you say."

Do You Trust Your Intuition?

I took this photo on a cold Sunday afternoon while taking Nini, my voluptuous Chihuahua for a walk. It was calm, cold, but beautiful. Sometimes it is hard to do what you know is right for you when everyone else is telling you that it is wrong.  Looking back, there have been a few situations in my life where I should have listened to my intuition.  If I had listened to what…
