Replace negative self-talk habits

Even when we’ve established a solid replacement habit, for …

Is fear or love the way to lead?

Summer has arrived finally to Bainbridge Island —88 today. I had a wonderful, long, beautiful waterside bike ride, cleaned the patio, then read the paper late in the day on that patio. It’s very easy to work here when it’s grey and cloudy, drizzling and in the 40′s or 50′s; not so …
