Wow! The year is basically half over! I can’t believe it has gone so quickly. So many changes, lots of progress in some areas, not so much in others. I think my primary challenge is time management. I start every day with great intentions, and a long to-do list. And at the end of the [...]

I asked for feedback last week on this new “short and sweet” blog format that I am using. About whether you liked it better or preferred my old format with longer posts.
