Purpose Driven Business
I recently started meditating. In fact, it’s been just 15 days, but I’ve stuck to it, every day. There were many times in the past that I’ve tried to take up this habit, but this time I know it’s going to stick. Like the pig in an American breakfast, I’m committed. Fortunately, ETR’s Publisher and…
