I'm a Nosy Old Bag! I am genuinely curious about people, about everyone, about YOU. And I LOVE to ask questions. That's why I'm a coach. Ever since I can remember I've wondered what makes people tick. I'm always asking myself, why do people do they things they do? Why they do 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵? What do … Continue reading I’m a Nosy Old Bag!

It’s a time of reckoning isn’t it? I don’t mean in an apocalyptic way, merely in the beginning-of-the year way.
