Script for sending Valentine’s love! It’s tough to play Euchre with only 3…almost impossible, in fact.

Nelson Mandela thrived 27 years of unbroken incarceration by managing his thoughts. Period. You will get through 2020, and you will THRIVE! Period. Now […]
PIVOT – Marcy Style – Part 1 Today’s answer for everything…”just pivot.” Just how do you pivot to jump-start fundraising and life growth? Ever seen a pivot? My first image is that marvelous quarter-mile long, spider-like metal creature that rolls over 100 acres of corn, onions, wheat or other crops spraying water. The center-pivot allows […]
