One of my new favorite books is “5“, by Dan Zadra. It’s a great book for any dreamer who hasn’t yet gotten around to doing. The book isn’t just meant to be read, it’s filled with questions and activities designed to help figure out what you want to do over the next five years of [...]
I’m committed to keeping a blog, but I’m dissatisfied with the way my blog is set up, and the content I currently have isn’t a best reflection of what I really want to talk about. I’m going to be re-doing the blog again and I hope bring it more in line with my real passions: [...]
