It’s hard to believe the holidays are already here! I love this season for many reasons – giving, being one of them. And there are many ways to give that don’t have to break the bank! Here are a few of my favorite ideas: 1. Pass along favorite books you’ve read. A few of mine […]

The Dailey Method word of the month for December is SMILE! This is our 4th and last secondary alignment principle and my personal favorite! Smile…. why not?
