Lovability

by | Apr 23, 2013 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  Love… That word conjures up nightmares for me. Love, what the heck does it mean? What does it feel like? Is it even real or possible? I want to believe in love. I want to feel love. I want to experience love. While reading “Lovability” I realized that I have...

Motivation What Does That Mean?

by | Apr 10, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey

Emotional Vampires

by | Apr 7, 2013 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

I chose to read this book even though it is on the work environment to see what Bernstein had to say about that energy draining people who I know I have come into contact with in my personal life. I now have noticed a huge difference with them gone and I have more...
