Sadly, there is much to be learned and much that can be explored in fields ranging from the sciences to sociology and social work and business and government, among others. …see more

All 10 free indestructible children's books, We See You/Te Vemos, have now been allocated and are being shipped this week. Thanks for the remarkable response. Many people wanted more than one copy for their families in need for their organizations. I get that. Please order copies of We See You/Te Vemos from Northshire Books for $10 per copy. Email dwraga@northshire.com . She will arrange payment and shipment. If you want 10 or more, there can be a bulk discount: $9.50 per book. Can't go much lower given the indestructible paper.

There is a lot of power in focusing on your own happiness - when building a career or in your personal life - and too often women simply don't. And the relentless worry and quest for perfection? I can relate to that for real. I'm still battling with it. It's why my YouTube channel is stalled. Stalled, but not dead! LOL …see more
