Intelligence: the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

I’m back! Apologies for the interruption in this monthly service.

It’s been an interesting year so far.

Business, wonderfully, has been busier than ever, but our landlord is selling our rental apartment so not only have we spent a lot of time looking for and securing a new home, we’ve had to clean, de-personalize and vacate our space on a weekly basis, for three consecutive months, with the dog, rain or shine, for open houses and showings.

Plus, I’m pregnant (due November)! So I’ve had less energy and more nausea than ever.

Thankfully, things are on the up and up.

We bought a new home, and take possession tomorrow!

And, finally through my first trimester, I’m feeling more energetic and (hopefully) past the nausea.

I’m really excited about this latest edition of TLD Intel. I truly hope these little roundups serve you and provide you with the education and tools to take ACTION in creating your best life!

Happy reading/listening/watching!
