Recently I wrote a post regarding creating and using solutions that take your unique gifts, hopes, dreams, abilities, and strengths into account.

Our "one size fits all" 1902 replica jersey! I recently took my 13 year old nephew to the Cleveland Indians game. Game time was 7:05 pm, however gates opened at 4:30 pm. We arrived at 4:20 pm.

Did you enjoy the holiday season last year? Or, did you feel stressed, over-whelmed, out-of-control, and thankful when January finally arrived? Were you wrapping gifts on December 24th (or possibly purchasing gifts on December 24th) or were you sitting back enjoying a quiet moment reflecting about the reason for the season?
