A few years ago when I was in training with the Coaches Training Institute, I remember one of the leaders saying that it is easier to give 100% - easier than 95%, or anything less than 100%.

Is It A "Should" Or Is It A "Wow?"

You might recognize it by how much time you spend looking at it, this way and that way, and then this way and that way again – trying to see something that isn’t there, feel something that you want to feel….nn In the late fall, I was in Bloomingdale’s to have a repair made on a coat I had purchased.

There are a lot of negative beliefs about people who are "psychics" like they are fake, unstable, weird, scam artists, etc. Psychic ability can be misused as can any other ability. And it can be used for the highest good. Maybe it's time to move beyond the negative connotations of "psychic" - which may be limitin
