Prologue

Image
They see each other again after three years of their high school break up. Marcus comes to Tonju's neighborhood wanting to talk to her. She can't believe he's come across town to see her. Her heart races from just seeing him, but her curiosity says "What does he want?". Marcus hurt her when they broke up. He decided Tonju was too much of a "good girl" so he went after someone else that had been around a bit more. Plus, he was graduating soon. By that time she, Tonju was a junior. When Marcus saw Tonju he couldn't believe his eyes, she was still the same little girl to him after three years. Marcus wanted to hug her but Tonju was standoffish with him. "What do you want Marcus?" "Hello to you too, Tonju. I want you." "You've got to be kidding me? After what happened between us? How you hurt me?" "I didn't mean to and I do apologize. I miss you.

The Difference Between Sizzle and Steak in Your Business

Today's business owners are being courted by too many diverse tools and not enought proven techniques, say seasoned strategist and Master Certified Coach Lorenda Phillips.  Goals, strategy, and action are key structures for a thriving and successful business.  Lorenda does believe that you can network you way to success with the proven Time Management: Less is the New More. If you take a look at the classis Frank Capra film "It's a Wonderful Life" and see it through the eyes as an Entrepreneur, you can master the skills of generosity and appreciation. On the lines of "failure," Lorenda does not view failure as a bad thing.  One can learn from their failures and use them as stepping stones for the future.  Don't take failures to heart.

Place the marinated trout on the grill and grill on both sides of at least 3 minutes.  Yes, also, the side with the skin on it.  You will see the pink of the trout start to darken, just a bit...it's getting done.  Once the trout is grilled, remove it from the grill and place on a plate or cutting board.  Cut the trout into cubes.
