Many of us face challenges early on that shape us and could define us. But how we react to those forces and experiences is what truly makes us the people we are.

Life is about choices. Choosing a fork in the road and then understanding the related consequences is a part of life. If you can harness the power, positive or negative, of a given life experience, then one can move forward in the direction of their choosing.

Our family history is a major part of who we are. Being able to record or write down that history is a special thing.

An important and impactful part of that process is capturing the memories of our senior family members. Seeing the past through their eyes as recalled in the stories they tell, makes life from another time come to life. It also helps cement a bond between generations that can’t be done in other ways.

Let’s face it, the world of work is changing. Who does what at a company isn’t what it used to be.

And that’s okay.

The outsourcing of jobs, responsibilities, and skillsets beyond the core capabilities of a company is an efficient way to get things completed. Bringing in talent specific to a function is a great way to maximize people power. It is a way of ensuring everything in a company gets done and done well.

In today’s buying and selling markets we always hear about “the experience.”

Well, just what is the buying experience and why should it matter to me?

When it comes to buying a home, probably the biggest purchase anyone makes in their lifetime, it is incredibly important. Having the right team in place to help you find and then buy the home of your dreams is more than salesmanship and bravado. It’s about experience, market savvy and a...

In this day and age we hear so much about people, especially women, feeling like they aren’t good enough, smart enough or pretty enough, among other things. Feelings of not being good enough can impact not only our professional work life, but our personal relationships as well.

Knowing your core identity, and, consequently, your place in the world around you can be life-changing. And it can help give you power you didn’t know you ha...

Life is an adventure to be experienced. And done so intentionally. When you take responsibility for your personal growth, you put yourself on the path to fulfilling your life’s purpose.

Being intentional in your life also opens you up to conversation and to learning. It helps you build a network of friends and business contacts and also builds your self-confidence. You have to lead yourself before you can become a leader.

Obesity and being overweight are two very significant health care issues in our world today with over 70 percent of our population suffering from these maladies. Beyond surgery and invasive procedures, what are people’s options when it comes to overcoming these health challenges?

What if you could invent a business that was a model of collaboration and high quality and featured products that tasted really good?

What if I told you that a business like this exists and is also native-Texan-woman owned?
The micro-batched and artisan food industry is more of a movement. Creative folks who roast coffee, brew beer, make bread, or create specialty condiments, are in it for the creativity as much as the profitability.

People are looking for solutions to spread their financial resources without sacrificing quality or skipping necessary care. It can feel like a rat race with no way out.

One of those solutions is something many of us are not aware of, something called d...

So much of our lives are marked by special occasions: engagements, weddings, milestone birthdays and anniversaries and just plain important days.

A big part of these special days and times are the gifts we give one another. Especially those
unforgettable diamonds. From engagement rings to anniversary pendants to special jewelry, having a
diamond at the center of the gift makes it all that more special.

There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor. Or so said, of all people, Charles Dickens.

We all think of laughter as good times, fun times and not really about work. But what if you could make a living from laughter? Our guest today has done just that.

We’ve all been asked “how are you feeling today?” Sometimes we know how to answer and sometimes we don't.

Being able to sort out our feelings from our emotions can be a challenge.

While emotions are related to physical conditions, feelings are sparked by emotions. Feelings are the product of your brain’s perception of things. So when we suppress or unleash our emotions, those actions can have a tremendous impact on our physical hea...
