Whisper + Service + Good Feelings = Decision Making

I’ve had a few “biggie” decisions to make over the last couple of weeks (e.g., do I scale back my volunteer work because I’m completely burned out, even though I’ve made commitments? Do I spend a rather large sum of money on a new professional development opportunity?). I’ve also had a few “not-so-important” decisions to make, too (e.g., do I quit making my own green juice because, even though it’s super good for me, it’s a total pain in the ass and I just don’t have the time?

Thankfully Pink: Part III

“Flo-ing” with Acknowledgment I believe that one of the most magical moments in our individual human existence is when we are really SEEN by another person.
