I present to you many things to consider when deciding whether to invest six figures of money/debt into law school. (You can't get a refund!)

One of the most common questions I have received is about making friends. I love my friends they are my favorite part of life and I've worked hard to establish and maintain them. Friendship requires effort but the reward is infinitely greater than the work. Once you're out of school we have way less default friendships and need to design our lives to enable a flow of friendship. Here's...

Beauty is how we decorate our time and space!

The more years I experience, the more healing I do, the less I feel the need to be right or defend myself. I used to be SO defensive that any kind of criticism or loving concern came across as threatening and would shut me down or rile me up. Our spirit knows mistakes are part of life & will readily say I’m sorry but the ego gets so caught up in defending mistakes it ignores the impact it has...
