Learning as a Career

Posted onApril 15, 2017September 10, 2017Leave a comment

Love Learning This was SO not me. I hated school actually. I only enjoyed a handful of classes. Those were the ones where you DID THE THINGS, rather that just the background stuff.

DO NOT Make A Resolution!

Posted onDecember 31, 2016September 10, 2017Leave a comment

It’s a Terrible Idea “May all your troubles last as long as your New Year resolutions.”  That’s about the most positive quote I can find about resolutions today.
