This summer, my husband and I undertook a move. A relocation from Massachusetts to Arizona has been undertaken by others, no doubt. We decided to make things a little more interesting than a direct route. We headed north. Our circuitous route is winding us through Newfoundland, Portugal, and North Carolina. When one would think to take the southerly route from the Carolina’s to Arizona in the winter months, we will make Bugs Bunny’s famous right turn at Albuquerque to get to Bozeman, Montana. Then, we’ll drive to Arizona.
Life is messy. If only we knew that as teenagers, perhaps we wouldn’t have been so hard on ourselves about not knowing so many things—like what major we want, what path we wish to take, where we want to live, how we can best help make the world better, what we want to be when we get older, how much money we ‘should’ have, and all of the zillion other questions that rattle around our minds once we begin to think about how we might ‘fit’ in the world at large.

She started receiving lifetime achievement awards at the age of 35!

If you're new to the business world, you might wonder if it's possible to become a great leader. After all, don't studies suggest that leaders are born and not made? Not quite, since there are many ways you can become the leader your company and team needs through an online course leadership!
Coffee is so much more than a magnificent beverage—it’s a labor of love. From the farmers that grow the beans to the roasters that craft the deliciousness, the entire process is one to be cherished (and the results, enjoyed!).
For teachers, creating a classroom environment where students feel safe and respected while also fostering an atmosphere of learning can be a difficult balancing act. If your students are not behaving as expected, it can make teaching more challenging and ultimately impede learning.

It is winter in the northern hemisphere now, January.
I have always found this time of year time for reflection, for creativity, for seeking peace, and of course, for wondering and considering about what the new year will bring.
BIG Wall Décor, based in Michigan, is an innovative, two-part wall art system that is making large, statement wall art easy and affordable to own."Everyone deserves to feel proud to show off their home. We're on a mission to make it easier and more affordable for everyone to have significant art. Art that's massive. Made by real artists. Something that is unique. Artwork that matters to you.
