As we near year-end, it’s natural to dream of what we’d like to experience in the New Year.

From a Morning Jaunt in Plaza Santa Fe…

Most of us don’t have linear paths in our quest for career, self and a rewarding life. There are usually many variables that we’ll encounter as we engage partners, business colleagues and our Friend In The Mirror in this struggle for self-realization. I’ve been there, done that…more than once. I’ve stumbled occasionally, but have been fortunate to have a cadre of family and friends to influence and encourage my ultimate success. I’m grateful.
