Published by under Encouragement

I want to thank all of you for not beating me on the head with wet noodles for forgetting to send out an issue last week, and also yesterday. My business start up is still eating up a lot of time, and the tension of trying to keep up with previous commitments, as well as [...]

Be Your Own Whip-cracker

Published by under Encouragement

Some friends seem to marvel at my self-discipline as if it is just too hard for them. I confess it is a struggle to stick to my plans and schedules sometimes, but for the most part I see the benefits and know that it is well worth the effort to keep myself in line. Eventually, [...]
