Attended yet one more exec breakfast but what an inspiring and thoughtful session. Rather than self-pontificating on career moves, he discussed broader life principles which I feel compelled to journal here as reminders for a life examined and well-lived ( Read more... )

So it's only been nearly 2 years since I last came on here... and I don't mean to write...I literally have not visited any of my blogs in friggin' years. My creative juices have dried / have not flowed as I haven't let them...who knows ( Read more... )
