The third option
It's easy to fall into thinking that you only have 2 options. Do nothing or do what everyone else is doing. Sometimes that works out okay but other times you need a third option. That third option is to carve you're own path and do what feels best for you. And sure that might draw … Continue reading The third option

Figuring it out as you go
So often we think that we have to have everything worked out. We convince ourselves that an idea is not enough that we have to have everything mapped out from A to Z and all the steps in between. But life will never go exactly as you plan, no matter how hard you try to … Continue reading Figuring it out as you go
