We wrap up the series on The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. These are powerful agreements – life changing agreements. They’re as good as we allow them to be. They’re only good if we agree to them and practice them in our daily lives. Agreement Four is: Always do your best! Under any circumstance,…
You know what happens when you assume! Often, we just assume wrong and it may not be pretty. However, if you assume I am continuing with our series on Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements, you are absolutely right! The Third Agreement is: Don’t make assumptions.

I’ve been eager to continue our conversation from last week on the third of The Four Agreements from the book by Don Miguel Ruiz: Don’t Take Anything Personally.

If you read my column in the Jan. 13 issue you, then will now have the market on patience! Right? Right! This week I’d like to share with you some tidbits on self-control – and what that means in our lives and the ones we love. John Maxwell, in his book, Devel-oping the Leader within…
So, we’re into the New Year and we’ve passed one of the magical days of ones – 1-11-11 – and there’s one more to follow in November. Do the holidays seem like the distant past to you? It’s amazing how quickly they disappear and we move on to the next thing…have you seen all of…
