Last week, I had the strangest call. A prospect was grilling me about how I might help him. At some point, he got a bit spicy and announced, “You have watched the Secret and have bought into the Law of Abundance.” Say what? I have never gotten past the first five minutes of the movie,

This year, let’s toast BE-ing. It’s a new year, a new number, a new beginning. Here’s to more hope, more happiness, more health and more humour for all of us this year. I have a confession. Last year, I finally threw away the fears that have held, bound and gagged me for the last six
