I hope that you are in the middle of a life that is extraordinary and fulfilling. I am excited about this issue because I am starting a new "tradition" by adding Feature Articles ! From now on you can look forward to reading articles written by my peers that I believe are key to living an Xtraordinary Life.

For the next several months my peer Brigitta Theleman will be our feature article writer. She is the owner of Organized Insight and has a passion for helping others enjoy their work, their surroundings, and their lives. I believe that you will thoroughly enjoy and benefit greatly from what she has to say.

As always, please share your experiences, thoughts and suggestions with me. In turn, I can share them with all of our readers that everyone may benefit.

Have a great summer filled with success!!!
