One of my friends sent me the quote we used in today’s meme. While I’ve said the same thing in many different ways, I really connected to this particular version. If you don’t like something, just take away its only power: your attention. If I'm continually focused...
It’s my birthday today! Every trip around the sun offers the opportunity to grow and become better than the year before. While it’s been a year of tremendous growth and insight, I’m going to limit these to just three things that I learned (or relearned, as...
