The World’s Greatest
worlds-greatest-tv-show-logo-542x325 Ever wondered what the world's most powerful emotion is? Some would say love, while others may say anger, but I truly believe it's simply- GRATITUDE! And this emotion hit me like a ton of bricks over the last couple of weeks, so I just had to share.

Giants, they Fall… E aí Brazil
FIFA So, as the eyes of the world are turned to a proud South American Nation - we got a huge shock this week in the 2014 World Cup Semi-Final Match.

Maya, Oprah and Me
Maya Well it's been about a week since the passing of one of the most "Phenomenal Women" that has ever blessed this planet- the Late Great Dr. Maya Angelou.

Being an Overcomer!
Sprung     I get asked this a lot, "How do you do it? How do you overcome obstacles?" Well I'm so glad you asked but first let's define what an obstacle is. I view an obstacle as anything that prohibits you from moving forward, anything that keeps you from achieving a goal, fulfilling a dream or ultimately getting what you want. And obstacles typically take different forms, here are the three major forms: 1. External Obstacles--These are obstacles outside of your control such as the economy, natural disasters (hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis,...

gg_going-for-gold_logo A Message of Olympic Proportions....
