For those who know me, it won’t come as a surprise to you to hear me say I’m a total optimist.  I really do believe in the power of positive thinking.  Why?  For starters, it feels good.  And I like feeling good.  Who doesn’t?  Secondly, it puts me in a mental state of mind to

There are so many gurus these days fighting for our attention. Gurus of all kinds. Health gurus, fitness gurus, business gurus, financial gurus, relationship gurus, you name it. There was a time (not so long ago) that I would listen and consume as much information from these so called gurus as I could. Read, consume,
