I took a quantum leap today - literally and figuratively.  I jumped out of a plane from 10,000 feet! This is something I said I would never do... until this year.  This year, I set as an intention to do those things I have been afraid to do in the past, because I know in doing them, it will empower me to face any fear that may stand in my way.  This week I have been reading a book called "you squared", which talks about the 'peculiar' strategy for making a quantum leap in your life - an...
