The unparalleled icon Bill Murray once said, “I realized the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was working, and the better I worked.” So maybe, that’s why January 28th has been designated as National Fun at Work Day. Does that mean Dr. Peter Venkman himself is responsible for this unofficial January holiday? Of […]
Have you ever gotten so worked up that you’ve experienced a feeling of scorching red hot rage? While it’s rare, I’m sure we’ve all experienced this at some point.

We fall into the same trap year after year. We make a promise to ourselves to exercise, lose weight, get organized, learn something new, or get our finances in order.
