Some thoughts from Athena:

SEX APPEAL:

Sex appeal knows no age. As we witness people of all ages exude qualities that make them attractive to us, we realize artifice is the frosting on the cake. We address the important aspects of the cake; the appearance to the eye or the mind. Fascinating to all. We can adjust to our individual changes, both mental and physical when we are open to truth about who we are. Handsome is as handsome does.

SUCCESS:

The race to reach our goals gets more complicated. Today’s rules of the game seem to change according to the newly acquired guidelines set in action. As participants, we need to be focused, prepared for events to shift, as trends shape the business world. The bottom line begins and ends with - you. As we face who we are, how we blend into the picture, and what effect it has on us personally, make for some great lessons.

SPIRITUALITY:

Being spiritual does not have anything to do with religion. The essence of an individual is expressed in limitless ways. Their core, their humanity is what we experience. The ability to convey their genuine love of mankind, enhances their value as friend, co-worker, or mate. The subtle embracing of human frailties with complete openness, opens avenues to self-discovery that were shrouded in questions and doubts. A beautiful road to travel.
