⁠
I love the art of words; within my author work for children and adults; my speaking engagements; my screenwriting; my Speech Pathology background... and my intuitive life/business coaching and consulting, where "Wordology" is something i passionately teach from an energetic perpsective.⁠
⁠
My Monday message today is encompassed by my new word... "PHILOSO-BE"⁠

This word is a simple yet powerful reminder that...⁠
⁠
...the success of what you teach is communicated by the extent to which you have embodied your own teachings. ⁠
⁠
