Before I leave this phase of my life, I must share with you a Wake-Up Call that I received from one of my managers that I will never forget. In 2005, there was another one of those calls to the manager’s office. In the pit of my stomach, I knew things were not going toContinue reading “A Life Lesson”

If you read my last post, you know that I had a LOT going on, at ALL Levels of my life. I often tell people today that you can’t operate with CHAOS at home and at work.
