  • Happy New Year: Make Mistakes All Year Long

    I saw this quote this morning and it is perfect for the new year: “I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

  • Let’s Be Relentlessly Awesome

    I have come across some bat shit crazy people in my life and what I have realized is that I do have an inner radar that goes off when I first meet these sort of people.  Something about what they say, how they say it just raises a flag in my head and for the…
