Hindsight is 2020

It’s not too late. Even as we firmly plant our feet one month into the new decade, you can still look back at last year and see what worked, what failed  and what needs tweaking. Life is made up of moments. What moments have you been producing? Sometimes, in...

The Benefits of Learning a Cool New Skill

I’m thinking of learning to play the ukulele. Believe it or not, it’s part of my success plan. When it comes to your brain: Use it or lose it! Your brain can either grow as you get older (“brain plasticity”) or you can get totally lost as you try to make your way down...
