Not everyone makes New Year's Resolutions...

there are some people who don't see the New Year

as a time for reinvention, recharging, reconditioning,

re energizing, reinvigorating, reorganizing.

It's just January.

But if you're one of those people who have made a resolution

to change something in 2014...

improvement in your life this year...

5 Rewarding Reasons to Take a Risk-Why It's Worth Getting Your Feet Wet.

Here's a secret you didn't know about me. 

I really don't like walking barefoot. I know some of you hate wearing shoes but I don't like to be without them.

Waiting Versus Patience - Lessons From A Labyrinth

We often use the  words waiting and  being patient  interchangeably. We wait on the phone for a real live person and are thanked for our patience. We ask our children to wait for us to get off the phone and ask them to be patient. We wait at lights, at the doctor's office and in line at the bank and all these things certainly try our patience! 

This week I learned how different they can be as I had the opportunity to revisit a labyrinth.
