i write about living life well… a legacy is something we live, not leave.
Some of my social media posts are personal notes for future thoughts and writings. When those get certain types of responses I will post them here as shorts called, “The Point”. This one is from 10/13/22 Facebook post. Thinking requires practice. Practice requires right discipline. Practice makes permanent, not perfect. People typically respond out of…
There are few things in life that feel as devastating as being rejected. Not getting picked for red rover or getting back the NO box checked on your love letter has the same effect.
