Happy Christmas eve to you folks. My early gift to me is time, space and state of mind to start writing again. Truth is I just haven’t felt like writing for an incredibly long time. I could say it’s because I’ve been busy with other things and thinking, and I have. But this is certainly […]

2015 was one of those years. We all have them, I’m not feeling sorry for myself. It was a year where lots of shiz went down, and fortunately I’m wiser for it. Now that’s out of the way we can talk about focus. As I was walking Rella Brazella this morning I was thinking about

Don’t know about you, but as I reach Christmas time thoughts of the year that was tap me on the shoulder and whisper sweet (and not so sweet) nothings in my ear. I think about what I did well, where I failed miserably, where I picked myself up again and what I’ll enhance next year. But
