That’s what Drew Kennedy called her and I agree. The video below was created by 11 year old Lindsey. I don’t know her last an or where she lives but I like her taste in music and her video is inspiring. Why is it inspiring? Because it makes me want to create. People creating inspires [...]
The other day I was spending a little time on Facebook. I saw a link that my friend Bob Doyle posted to something called The Passion Test. Bob and I are often talking about living life from your passions and have both spent time coaching other people to do so. I generally feel like I [...]
