The Art of Habit Change

March 31, 2010

My Vision Statement

March 24, 2010

Over the last few years, my dreams have really been evolving. I always envisioned retiring fairly late in life (by which I mean normal retirement age) with a bunch of money and material possessions that I thought would make me happy.

Is Your Life in Need of a Realignment?
