This is simple. Life, really, Is Easy. And here's why. And how, and what. We all need to figure this out. Each of us! Quietly, by ourselves so we can make sense of "things" and grow from there.

Which is more important; is it our IQ or EQ? We're all trying to communicate something, somehow to people at times and how do we best do that?

We are all capable of leadership. With the right people around us and when we know ourselves well enough to put that little bit of confidence out there, we ALL can be leaders.

Without taking a quiz or going to a therapist, or waiti...

How much water do we need to drink? It's definitely not the same for everybody nor is there is a right or wrong answer to the equation. It might not even be an equation; it may be a feeling. We each see health and wellness differently but should that include a 50 ounce water bottle. Listen to Patty and Sal as they banter, each trying not to drown the other out. Whether it be two, four, six or...

Think about social media like we once thought about the picture albums we used to look through. We typically found pictures of birthday parties, the best holiday table setting and anything else we wanted to preserve.

Patty and Sal think we, as a whole, need to stop labeling behaviors and traits and allow each person to decide if or when they need help.

So although it may seem 'you got this' ... you don't. No...
