Knowing Yourself: Play with Your Gifts
Wow! Talk about knowing yourself! I just took another very in-depth profile of myself, and I realized this morning that for the last 1-2 years, I have done some heavy-duty Kem Thomas Lutz studies!

The words “soul ache” describe my condition many times in my life. I oftentimes lived in a situation, job, or relationship, maybe peacefully, for months or years. Then one day my soul began Read More
