But what's the most you could do? It's the least that I can do.  It's a saying we use when we've done something for someone after they've done something pretty nice for us. But have you ever really thought about what it means? It's the least that you can do? Is our least good enough? Is it ever good enough?

It has become something that people don't want to talk about or bring up for fear that someone is either going to judge them over it or they will be called

I went over with you the three types of responses our bodies can have when we experience that fear. Our physiological response is the way that our actual bodies respond when we experience fear. When our hearts pound, our breathing becomes

What fears are holding you back?When I was a teenager I used to go up to Troy Grove at night and hang out with friends. Unfortunately, what I did a lot of the time was stay out t too late and then I would have to walk home in the dark. Needless to say I never really walked – I ran! I would walk up until the very last street light and then I would take off full speed ahead and not stop or hardly

Don't fear change! Or we may just be insane. Finishing up .. Wars – I found it appropriate to speak to you about ….CHANGE. We hear the word all the time…from politicians, about climate issues, from changing our ways of thinking; over time we've heard many quotes about change. Here's a few: The more things change the more they remain the same. Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr Nothing endures but change
