Words matter. Really it's not the words per say but the intent behind the words. Words are the vehicle that can get you to where you want to go in life. However, it’s not enough to just speak your mind nor is it healthy to occult your true thoughts, feelings, and emotions. What is needed... Continue Reading →
It is evident; so much has changed. Even our work situations have shifted. As more companies are allowing work-at-home schedules and Zoom meetings we are finding a new phenomena of family “togetherness”.
