(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Here_Now_(book), and the battle with the distraction capacity of our big brains has never let up.

Universal Introspection: From Tucson to Trust and Compassion
The January 8, 2011 tragedy in Tucson, Arizona shocked the world and stimulated a discussion about how we do, in fact, discuss things.

Grow In Order To Be Great: The Personal Growth of The Wellness Coach
Personal growth is a lifelong process, and for the wellness coach it is a key component of their professional development as well. I’ll be blunt.
