was originally a guest post on Your Runner Dad which I was excited about. No one has ever posed this question to me! I’ve altered it slightly as time has passed (and I found errors). Over 30 years ago, in April 1992, my first biological child was born. I can’t…

Of all the ways there are to increase your personal power, gratitude tops them all. Being appreciative for everything you have and having the desire to help others to feel the same level of appreciation. Increasing your sense of empathy is one way to gauge that you are on the…
