Dear Readers,

In the last edition, I wrote about life insurance. There are so many other reasons to have it so here is Part II. I just need to put it on your radar that you need to consider getting some for your family and yourself.

Dear Readers,

September was National Life Insurance Month. The Coronavirus has shown us how death could come so quickly. I do not know anyone who likes to talk about death but it is very necessary. Put aside fear and unknowing and just apply for insurance.

Dear Readers,

It used to always feel wonderful when someone would ask me to meet at a coffee shop for a business meeting. More recently, I am finding that it is better to stay in an office setting depending on the type of conversation that you are going to have. Watching the steam rise from your cup of black coffee with a double shot of expresso, while waiting for your coffee mate to arrive can sometimes turn you into a chatterbox.
