2015 Summary in Review

As I wrap up 2015 and wish you a Merry Christmas, I wanted to conclude with a simple recap of what we've looked at. The year-at-a-glance if you will.

Introduction to the Blog (Feb 26) – my weekly blog on effective living, managing and leading was launched just before my 60^th birthday. It  is intended to help anyone who is a lover of life (whom I call, Viphilus) learn how to break the self-destructive blocks of self-limiting, self-defeating, and self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviours.
