It’s OK to feel this and acknowledge it and then be proactive with…

Padlock Still Showing on Your Site? I was so frustrated!!! I googled how to get https on my WordPress site as I wanted to make all my content secure for visitors.

It’s great to actually see someone else in action verses reading about productivity habits. Habits Determine Your Success We all have different success habits and habits are powerful. They shape your entire day in ways you…

Health for Success The older I get the more I realize I have to focus on my health to be my absolute best. I use to think the sins of my youth weren’t that bad and I could just skate along and everything would be fine. Eat fairly well, pop a few supplements and I would be good to go. Well, that hasn’t worked out. Duh! I find myself in my 6th decade heavier than I have ever been and it’s tougher to lose the pounds that I could easily keep off until about 50. The extra weight tires me out, slows me down and interferes with my concentration. The…
