Ed Sheeran & Creativity
I don't know if you know Ed Sheeran but I'm guessing you've heard one of his songs, with him singing, or something he's authored for someone else. There's no question he knows how to write songs - even if you don't like any of them. Is there something, when it comes to creativity, that we...
Your Most Valuable Skill
I grew up in what would be considered the center of middle class. We never had a problem getting food or paying the house payment. We always had a new outfit when school started. And there were two cars in the driveway. It only took a trip to Mexico (not far from my Southern California...

Day 249 of Daily Blogging
Can You Believe It's Day 249? On December 31 of 2020 I decided to start hitting the blue \"Publish\" button again. It's not like I hadn't blogged at all in 2020. But I had written 28 posts in the whole year. And I'm pretty sure that was better than 2019. So I decided to go...
