Limits (A Confession)

I often struggle to pay my bills on time. And to stay completely connected in group conversations. Focus. My mind wanders and isn’t always interested in taking care of those tasks as well as I would like. I’m painfully aware of my faults and shortcomings.

2010 – “Reflections on the Journey” or “The Shape of Things to Come”

January came out of the gate strong and I was up for two jobs right away. 2 jobs that looked very very good. It was all dreams and possibility and then I lost them both in the same 30 minutes and it was confusing and frustrating and completely unfair. I drove home in the rain [...]
