Have you ever wanted to travel the world and tell the whole world what it was like? Author M.L. Tarpley does just that through her writing. This amazingly brilliant woman is the author of Maylie and the Maze, a children's book where Maylie and her friends travel all over the world and go on amazing adventures. She shares her publishing story, tells me her own travel stories, and how traveling helped her become a better writer and person.

Comparing yourself to others can become a toxic addiction. Listen as I tell you why it is not good to compare yourself to others and how to stop the cycle.  Kawhi Leonard, point guard for the Los Angeles Clippers, is my Baller of the Week! He is one of my favorite players to watch because he is an excellent facilitator and leader, relentless on defense, and plays with his heart. Game 6 against the Dallas Mavericks really gave me more insight into who he is as a player.
