Stop Faking It
I am a big fan of Inc. Magazine, and this month had a great page in their “launch” section. The thing that caught my eye was the headline: “Stop Faking It” (what? a sex column in a business mag?)Next, was the quote: “If nobody shares they are struggling, nobody will know anybody else is struggling. That results in […]
Pole Dancing
So the Expert and I were at the park today with the kiddos, and after sending James & Stella down the fireman’s pole a few times….the Expert told me to take a whirl down the pole. “Oh no, I can’t.” “Why?” he asked. “I’ve never done it,” and when I see his mouth turn into […]
