Since starting Moving Memories in 2019, I have heard many stories of hope. People who have been through hell and back, but who held on to hope and […]
Work harder on emotional intelligence
Work harder on your emotional intelligence. That’s the message I came away with last week, after interviewing a wonderful man in his mid 60’s who is facing a terminal diagnosis with immense bravery and gratitude. To say I’m inspired by him would be an understatement. He truly understands the meaning and value of this one […]
