Growing Bolder Community

Many years I sat down to write my goals for the year and resolutions. The word resolution by definition means to resolve something like a problem or it’s a decision to do something, something that hasn’t been done before.

Recently, I had the pleasure of spending an evening with a friend and colleague of mine - Maddy Swinnen. Maddy is a Well Being and Business coach (http://www.Happinex.org) with a Masters in Positive Psychology and an MBA. She is also a mom who has built a successful business helping others while still keeping her family first priority. That alone makes her an amazing woman. Despite the fact that...

Either it directly affects their immediate family or they know someone close like a brother, sister or friend who has lost a job, filed for bankruptcy or lost their home to foreclosure.

A place where the magic of Disney permeates the community; where residents sing instead of talk, where children laugh and play without fear, where bluebirds regularly land on our shoulders. This is the city of hope and joy; where each person cares about the other; where hugs are frequent and neighbors are prized. Yes, Orlando is the happiest...

That was the day Leonard Padilla had a team of divers searching for Caylee in the Little Econlockhatchee River. I went to that location because I was in the vicinity and I wanted to take pictures of the action for a friend of mine. She was (and still is) obsessed by it...
