I was recently certified as a True Colors facilitator. True Colors is a color version of the Myers Briggs indicator. The founder of True Colors, Don Lowry liked using color as a metaphor to translate complicated personality theory into practical application.

The white rabbit in Alice In Wonderland kept muttering..."I’m late, I’m late for a very important date" And I say, yes you are! That very important date is with yourself, at least once in a while. It’s a great idea to take a break from stress and schedules and invite yourself out...
