Contributed by Stephanie Staples at Your Life Unlimited

This year started with presenting in a rural Texas hospital and ended 12 months later presenting in a major metropolis for an insurance giant and saw about 65 programs delivered all over North America in between.

Whew, good thing my job energizes me! I am so blessed to be able to share the message of living Your Life, Unlimited!

From coast to coast, no matter where my business travels take me, no matter what people do for a living, or what initials they have (or don’t have) after their name, the wants, needs and expectations of people seem to be the same.

We all want to have hope, to feel valued, empowered and inspired. We all want laugh more and love larger. And we all know that we learn better when we re having fun. And we did have fun in 2015.
