    by Limhi Montoya

    Resuming gives you permission to pick up where you left off. The first day of the year is a good time for resuming anything that you left undone or unaccomplished.

    by Limhi Montoya

    Purpose is created by choice. As an Inspiration Specialist, I am often asked: “How do I find my purpose?” Embedded in the question is the hope that “finding purpose” will lead to happiness.

    by Limhi Montoya

    Sometimes we do mistakes. Mistakes are actions we do, not events we create. They are the results of chance, decisions, ignorance, misunderstanding, miscalculations, pride, and many other factors.
