5 Ways to Kiss Perfectionism Goodbye
I never took the possibility of being a perfectionist seriously, never really considered myself as one.

To Live for Something Greater
A few weeks ago I opened a book and was hit by this phrase: "You have been created to live for something greater than yourself, and it is only through the complete giving of yourself that you will find yourself." It stuck with me. I closed the book. Turned on the TV. The documentary on ...

Disney’s "Frozen": Top 3 Lessons on TRUE LOVE
The Disney movie "Frozen" captured my heart for SO MANY reasons -- good music, cute story line, lovable characters -- but what I loved most were its LESSONS. Seriously. Good job, Disney.

Living in Abundance (Part 4): LIFE DIRECTION
Follow this blog on Twitter @realtalkblogs This is probably drilled in your head by now since I've repeated it over the past few weeks, but here it goes again: The difference between living in 'abundance' or 'lack' depends on perspective.

Living in Abundance (Part 2): SACRIFICES
