…by Prill Boyle How does one discover a calling? The honest answer is, I\’m not sure. For the majority of us, I suspect, the seeds appear in childhood. (My interviews with late bloomers bear this out.) But other than that, I can\’t really say. What I have noticed, however, is that serendipity often plays a […]
What is Compulsive Spending? The holidays are a perfect time to discuss compulsive spending. Isn\’t everyone a compulsive spender when the holidays roll around? Doesn\’t our country encourage overspending at this time of year? Isn\’t racking up the credit cards the American way of life? Unfortunately, all of the above questions can be answered with […]
