June 9th, 2010
My husband is a physical therapist who specializes in helping people with balance disorders.

Joy Formula: Living Authentically Happy!
August 7th, 2009
Joy isn’t a word we hear very often nor is it something we feel as often as I believe we’re intended to. Joy is more than satisfaction or pleasure which are often dictated by circumstances out of our control. Joy is a conscience, daily choice to see the good in ourselves and the world around [...]
