When it comes to creating a list of favorite Halloween movies, you might first think of some blockbuster “scary movie” series, such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Chucky, Scream and Halloween. Then, of course, there’s the softer side of famous Halloween movies, namely, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Even if you’re…
“I wish I had more time!” “I have too much to do and not enough time!” “There aren’t enough hours in the day!” Have you ever found yourself thinking any of those thoughts? Or perhaps even muttering them out loud? My clients and workshop participants sure do. I have some great…
We’re half-way through October with November and December itching to take their places front and center on our calendar. What tends to happen mid-fall is a bit of a lull sets in. Year-end seems far off. It seems like the kids have just gone back to school and are now full swing in activities.…
