Hey everyone!!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Not sure about you, but it has been a hectic week for me! 🔥 But that is just the way life goes sometimes; things happen in cycles. Trying to fight your way out of it isn’t always the most effective way; sometimes you just need to go with the flow. Make the time for the most important things, and learn to let some stuff go. It’s a key skill to have in today’s working world, but it is never easy. Anyway, here’s the usual 3 things for you: A brief article; this week…

Hello everyone!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I hope you’ve had an amazing week and an incredible beginning to your autumn. I suspect you can relate, but mine has been incredibly busy. Note that I am not saying this to complain; being busy is a good thing. If I compare it to being bored, I know I’d prefer to be busy.

The good news is that I’m doing okay; each bout seems to be less damaging than the one before it. This is the only area where my wife and I are out of synch; we never get it at the same time. Each time she’s had it, I’ve been fine – and vice versa. 🤷🏼 Anyway, I went for a walk down our quiet private…

Hello!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Me again. I hope you’ve all had an amazing week, recharged on the weekend, and are ready to rip into the new week. If not, maybe it’s a good time to reflect on what is missing in your life. Because “better is always possible.” I am so tired of hearing people blather on about how you should “follow your passion”; it is a dangerous idea. There is a grain of truth to the idea, which is what makes it both so compelling – and so dangerous. It leads to too many people searching…
