Defining Moments

There are experiences in life that can wake you up and give you the opportunity to really evaluate your goals, and your priorities. These opportunities can often motivate you into action.

The other way was much less serious and far-reaching. Thankfully it resolved in the second way. However over the last month, as I went to the doctor, and … Continue reading →

Do Your Actions Demonstrate Your Priorities?

Recently I took a quiz that matched me to the political candidate I should vote for. The quiz asked me all sorts of questions about the many different issues that you consider when voting for a candidate. I was surprised to discover that the candidate that I most closely matched was not one that I had considered, in fact he is not in the same political party that I put myself in.
