When I decided to make the change from work at the office to work at home, I expected to have a whole lot more time to spend with my family.

We can probably all think back to our younger days when we would hula hoop at school and for fun at home, it was always worth a few laughs, but as I personally grew older, the hula hoop faded into the background as one of those “kids” activities that I had simply outgrown. Well not any more! It... Read Full Story

Having been a smoker myself for many years, I know how difficult it can be to quit smoking, but I also have the ability to reflect back onto my days of smoking and say, “Geez, why didn’t I quit sooner”. First let me tell you that there is no benefit to smoking, period. It doesn’t make you feel better, worse in fact, it takes time away from other more important things in life and of course smoking will also shorten your life, allowing less time to spend on this Earth with the ones you love...
