That’s what it feels like when we least expect it. In the last post, we touched on where our greatest teachers in life come from. Important to note however, is that once we have opened ourselves to recognizing them, we must open ourselves to what lessons are to be learned from them. In our effort… Continue Reading
Guru. Teacher. Coach. Mentor. Whatever word you use, it speaks to one who shares, teaches, supports, challenges, trains, nurtures and/or guides us along our path.
