What is the unique contribution that each of us, every woman on the planet, can make?  What each of us alone can do is live our individual story.  There are no two stories exactly the same anywhere on our earth.   […]

Over these past pandemic-ridden several months, I have been revisiting many books in my ‘at home’ library. The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy (the founding editor of Success magazine) is one such book. I love it. […]
