It’s that time again. Are you tired of setting the same goals for your career and life each New Year? Have you laid out meaningful goals, but as the months roll by realize you have no clue how to actually take the action needed to achieve them? Are you so overwhelmed by ALL THE THINGS … Read more…
It snowed here this morning. Can you believe it? Those white flakes, while pretty, not only brought home how close the end of this year is, but also reminded me of how many projects I still want to get done before 2019 – and all the holiday stuff still to come. Urgh. Wish me luck? … Read more…

Can you believe it? We not only have power, but internet access AT THE SAME TIME!! Yeah, my sarcasm is showing, but man, it’s been a really weird 1st Quarter for 2016. And you know me, the best laid plans and all that. On the writing front I’m *this* close to finishing final … Read more…
