When I was pregnant with my daughter Sarai, who was born in 1990, I’d frequently go to McDonalds (more often than I’d like to admit) and order my favorite: 2 Double Cheesburgers. Back then, McDonald’s used to often run a special: 2 Double Cheeseburgers for $1 (I’m dating myself).
Back then, I loved their double cheeseburgers. [...]

Today is a day for release. Here’s what I am now choosing to release:

I choose to release being small. I vow to stop hiding, playing small and playing not to win.

I choose to release acting dumb. No more pretending I don’t know when I do.

Today’s idea: we are each the creators of our reality and the shapers of our individual destiny.
Play a game with me. Call to mind a current snapshot of your life. Call to mind your job (or business or whatever you do for income), your house, your bank accounts and investment accounts, your relationships, your vehicle, [...]
