To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.
Soren Kierkegaard
Security is an illusion. Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing at all.
Helen Keller
Fortune sides with him
who dares.

Do new opportunities excite you or make you uneasy? It can be hard to quiet that little voice in our heads that tells us that we can't possibly succeed this time. Thoughts like this can hold you back from taking the leap that propels you forward in your career, a relationship or even daily life.

Share the eBook Love
 If you've made the move to a Kindle reader or app, you know the beauty of instant book gratification. Need a good read NOW? Click! But did you know you can also borrow and loan Kindle ebooks among your friends? Just sign into your Amazon account, and under the "Your Account" tab, choose "Manage my Kindle." You'll see all the books you've purchased. Some of them (not all) can be loaned out. Click on "Actions," and if it says "Loan Title" then you can simply enter the email address of the person you want to loan it to. She or he will receive a message saying the book is available to download for a limited period of time. Your friend will have 14 days to read it, and then the loan expires. Give it a try for some extra summer reading fun this year! |

In the Profile tab on the left side, look for "Privacy Controls." Click "Select what others see when you've viewed their profile." You can choose to share your name and headline, show up with anonymous profile characteristics (such as industry and title) or be completely anonymous. Here's an example:

Annual Reports
Once again we're honored to have collaborated with Peggy Lauritsen Design Group to write the annual report for Jeremiah Program. This nationally recognized nonprofit organization successfully transforms families from poverty to prosperity two generations at a time, by preparing determined single mothers to excel in the workforce, and readying their children to succeed in school.
