You Don’t Need to Be Struggling to Jumpstart Your Finances
Whew…a lot has happened and changed since last Sunday. Before I delve into this week’s topic, please allow me a moment to express my horror at the insurrection that unfolded on U.S. soil last week. I was horrified and in disbelief. I still remain anxious about...
What Does Going The Extra Mile Look Like For You?
It’s the first Sunday of the new year — Happy New Year! Whether you’re reading this tonight, or at another time, the start of January is when your inbox and social media feeds become flush with ideas and “best practices” for New Year’s goals and resolutions....

At first blush, this may seem an unusual question to pose for a holiday message. But given the year that is (and has been), it seems very fitting to me. And in perfect alignment with the quote I share each year at this time: “The future enters into us, in order...

I voted. I donated. I volunteered. Now, I wait for the election results. Albeit, on pins and needles. I’m not alone in waiting. Not now; not ever. Many aspects of your life may differ from mine (or anyone else reading this), but waiting on or for something or...
