Whether it’s for Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanza, in December, we make the time to focus on celebrating miracles, faith, and family. I love the bright lights, the joyful music, the giving spirit.

I believe in setting standards for your life and developing a self-awareness that drives me to become a little better every day, to pursue happiness, and excellence.There’s a fine line, though. Perfectionism is the enemy of Greatness. Perfectionism …

I have more than one miracle story, although I won’t be discussing any specific one today. Instead, I’m sharing an article of mine that was published on Miracle Magazine and that seems so relevant during this time of my life when I’m being faced with much opposition, my daughters are having birthdays, and we’re entering …
