Dr. Patrick Handley's Facebook Page about Humanality: "Insight of the week: I received a wonderful message from youthful, 70 year old Parelli student Marilee Donovan. She thanked me for the positive, strengths-based orientation of the Humanality report and commented about how she was just now, at this stage in her life, discovering her true self and unleashing many of the personality strengths she had suppressed over the years.

We had fun times at the office getting everyone signed up and ready to go tomorrow.  Everything went smooth as silk.  Everyone has numbers and even better, safety pins to attach the…

When I first started with Sage, I developed a wine rating system based on adrenalin and or pain. I don't know how it happened, but as time passed, the wine rating system was dropped. I think I started counting points instead. On a certain day, Sage might have racked up 500 or 700 points to my 5 points. Gradually, my points started to increase as I started to win "the games" with Sage. I don't remember the point system with Velvet and my rating system was dropped. Besides, how exciting…
