Giving Yourself Permission

August 9th, 2010

I was speaking with a prospective Master Key Coaching client. He was telling me what he wanted to attain and what he wanted to do. As he told me his goals, I noticed something — something just popped into my head.

One of his goals was that he wanted to tithe to his church. He wanted to give a portion of the money he made to his church so that they could perform good deeds.

January 15th, 2010

Although I attended my first personal development seminar in 9^th grade and have been on “The Path” ever since, it has not been an easy road. I spent a majority of my life “collecting” knowledge and becoming an expert in what to do. That said, my life was filled with many challenges – from issues with food – to relationships – to money challenges – et cetera.
