Willpower and Work – An Inside Job
17 May 2013Yes, I’m a bad person. I know this because the book group I founded, brimming with incredible women, told me so. I got myself in a bit of a mess over a book about Willpower. I don’t really lack willpower, not really. I have it when I want it, BUT I didn’t want it for […]

Life Imitates Art
19 Sep 2012Welcome to my blog – Life Imitates Art.
