Immersion
I spent a week in an English immersion program for Germans, where my only task was to talk and listen for 14 hours a day. It was fun, fun, fun, but exhausting at times. I do this three times a year, and am always happy to come back for more. Why do I do it?…

Understanding Abundance
I was in my early 20’s and working for a private employment firm in Texas. I really enjoyed meeting with people, and with my youthful naivety, was sure I could place everyone in a job perfect for them. I soon learned it took more motivation and assertive business expertise than I had at that time. …
