For those of you who think writing is easy, think again… It’s not, especially when you write as many articles as I have.

Should I? Or shouldn’t I? Whether we realize it or not we are constantly asking ourselves these two questions, a sort of “weighing our options.” With my son turning five and his thirst for knowledge exploding I have started explaining things in the form of action – reaction.

We spend a lot of our life trying to change what we don’t like about ourselves… What we don’t often realize is that part of us can be used to our advantage. In essence, taking our weakness and making it a strength. For much of my childhood. I didn’t have much confidence, for a variety
