How do you expect to finish if you never start?
I have spent a lot of time around people that are extreme introverts and some that are extreme extroverts. Some talk way too much and some don’t raise their voice enough. Normally, we think about this as when to “say the right thing” in the right situation. I’d rather take a look at the invert: knowing when to shut… Continue reading The Art of Knowing When to Shut Up
While in my pursuit to continually educate myself, I went to WordPress meetup here in Charleston 2 nights ago. It was just $5 and both presenters were covering topics I want to learn more about.

Good Times I have been fortunate to spend the weekend with friends that I have not seen for a long time. I love it when you are able to pick up the old relationships right where they left off. One of the conversations I had was one of facing challenges and what to do next. My friend knows what he… Continue reading Facing Challenges Head On
Aaaand Scene As I went through the Starbucks drive through in Neptune Beach, FL the other day, I had a lot on my mind. I was distracted and not necessarily in a good way.
