Policing perfect

The aftermath
After doing anything that took courage or experiencing something that caused some discomfort, you're likely to have to deal with the aftermath.

If that's … Continue reading The aftermath
You might not get tomorrow

We want to know that we're being thought of, that someone wants us to be involved and maybe a small part of it is the … Continue reading Wanting to be included
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
Putting it into practice
If you have an idea of what could be done or what is possible, would you be willing to put it into practice? It's really easy to talk the talk full of excitement and enthusiasm.
