I did pretty well this holiday season. I didn’t overindulged. I just indulged. I didn’t over-buy. I just bought enough. I didn’t over-reflect. I just reflected what I needed in order to keep moving forward. I’d like to say that I applied the right lessons from past holiday […]
To quote Gwen Stefani, it’s going to be bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. And, not just because its going to be a leap year. Or because there will be four months in a row with a supermoon. I believe everyone knows to expect chaos and the unexpected this coming year. In […]
