Like so many people I was looking forward to a fresh positive start to 2021. Well that didn’t happen the way I had hoped. You see, on December 26th, after an absolutely beautiful white Christmas, I fell on black ice in my driveway and broke my wrist. I will be in this brace until at …

Trusting your gut and the ideas that come to you, instead of doing what you think you have to do in order to be successful. But I realize talking and writing …
