It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like…
Holidays are fast approaching. Soon Americans will be consumed with bargains, sales and shopping in preparation for Christmas. Travel plans will firm up and soon we will be on the road traveling to and fro during work breaks. It really is an exciting time of year and probably my favorite. But let us be careful […]
The Challenge of Commitment
Any accomplishment requires commitment. There is no substitute for dedication and determination in pursuit of a goal. The star athlete spends hours and hours improving his physical body and sharpening his responses.
