Oh boy. I was startled. Thought I had written a bit. Then came to see I had been distracted all day with words for others. Government documents. Legal documents. Meeting notes. But no words for me. I had starved myself in a way. Deprived myself of my own […]
I am what sine might call a Type A personality. I’m also a Taurus. I’m also a trained researcher who became a healthcare CEO. Put that all together and I make for a strong-willed, perhaps stubborn individual. I didn’t make it out of the South Bronx by readily […]
