    In this new year, we need to focus on: 1. Personal development. 2. Building relationships. 3. A life of service.

    One of the positive effects of the recent tragedy our country experienced is that people appear to be shifting their priorities. People are centering their lives more on home and family rather than jobs and careers. We are looking again at the value of relationships, and even our relationship ...read more
