What are you good at? Last year, I had a pretty bad birthday month getting Covid, bronchitis, and extreme work pressure. I thought surely this year’s birthday month of May had to be better. Well, the year of 2023 said “hold my beer.” This year has been brutal […]
Who would you like to talk to soon? I meant to write about this earlier in the day. However, I was a bit tired and unmotivated. This perfectly illustrates why I need to have a conversation with myself. Billy Idol sang about dancing with himself. He noted that: […]
What’s one small improvement you can make in your life? This week was supposed to be one on which I could finally get some certainty and make decisions. Yet, the week continues to be one in which I continue to have a mounting set of problems and decisions […]
