Wow! It’s been a long time since I posted. Life happens. Since I last posted, I’ve gone to work for a great company called Medtronic.

If you haven’t read the article about Flow that I wrote a couple of weeks ago, go back and read it first. If you have, let’s get started. Remember, FLOW is about being present in the Moment.

I mentioned in previous posts that there are many ways to get in touch with your guidance system. You can ask for messages from everything around you. Even Tarot Cards.
