By Nicole Mangina | May 1, 2013

If you are waiting to feel safe and have all of the answers before you try something new, you are out of luck. It doesn’t work that way. It’s amazing how many things we don’t do in life because we are scared. Yet if you look back, weren’t you scared before you did anything of…

  Tomorrow is my birthday and it’s a big one.  I turn 40!  Birthdays are great. It’s a chance to celebrate and set my intentions for the coming year. Kind of like New Years resolutions, but more fun. To me, New Years is for those things I “should” do like eating better, working out more,…
