Opportunity Will Beat Down Your Door
I keep thinking about a post I wrote for a now-defunct website called Quarterlette.com in 2012. It was about opportunity beating down your door. What follows is an edited version of that post. Enjoy. Growing up I heard the expression, “Opportunity only knocks once,” and I really took it to heart. I took advantage…
Read MoreListen to Marianne Williamson LIVE!
The universe is just so funny sometimes. I obviously love Marianne Williamson — I’ve referenced A Return to Love numerous times, as recently as last Sunday. Well get this.
