    It lives with you and it won’t move out. No matter how many times you send it packing. Ignore it. Avoid it. Want it to just go away. Sometimes (if you are very, very lucky) it goes on vacation (for some unknown reason), but you’re never sure when it’s going to return. But return it…

  • do you have a ‘poo poo’ person in your life?

    You know what you want to create in your life. You know that if you headed in a particular direction that you’d be happy. You even have supporters, encouragers and people imagining your success.
