Sometimes the books I read shine a light (or cast a shadow) that is hard to ignore. This is what books are supposed to do–give you a new perspective. You need to be in the right headspace to take in the information, and you have to question the concepts to spin the idea from multiple […]
I’m losing track of this year. Spring forward with daylight savings has me out of sync. I’ve got too much to do and not enough time to do it.
