What Are YOU Addicted To?

Recently, I was asked this very question!

When Life Gives Us Lemons

Lately, I have been thinking about when life gives us lemons. Such a polite way to refer to those devastating moments we have little to no control over. Y’know the ones I mean.

It’s Time: Thoughts for the New Year

It’s time.  I don’t know about you, but I don’t see us ‘returning to normal’ next year. Instead, I see a return to different, but not to the old ways pre-COVID. So, I find it impossible to look with 10000% certainty at any of the old thinkings and methods we once employed.  It’s time to
