True Team I am fairly confident I have mentioned my devotion to the Golden State Warriors. This year was no exception – but this year I paid closer attention to what was happening in good times and not so good times. In 2019 they were in last place and broke the...

You Can’t Make an Elephant Purr ….and other reasons to give up resistance… Its about developing a different operating system – about hooking into a 5G frequency through which blessings can freely flow. It’s a day to celebrate how far you have come – a day to give up...
