This happened because one of my coaching clients told me I need to share more of myself with all of you; that is, more of what I eat to be healthy. What kind of meals helped me lose the weight and the chronic depression that plagued me for years is what she wanted to know. She also wanted to see how I make the meals. It’s hard for me to say “no” to my coaching clients and even harder to say “no” to this particular one,…

This is easy for you…” I thought I would address this today. It’s not always been easy for me, and I remember quite a few years ago, I was very unhappy with my job.
