...take advantage of your situation - it's not taking advantage of the situation. It goes without saying that it's such a challenging time for the whole world right now. If we could save a life every time we read or heard the word 'unprecedented' then we'd be going...

Believe it or not my phone rang, not just once, but twice yesterday! And even more unbelievable - neither call was to tell me I'd had a momentary lapse of memory and had been in a car accident! One was a client of old and the other a potential new client. What a...
