I live my life in such a way that I do not have very many regrets. And I am thankful for that. But I know not everyone feels that way. I make decisions that I stick to, and I live with the consequences. I want to provide a thought process for how I'm able to … Continue reading Sticking To It
I've been talking a lot about being in the tunnel and in the midst of the rougher patches of my life. But today, I want to talk about something different.

And I don't necessarily mean things like "dress for the job you want, not the job you have" or "remember your why" (a common one in teaching that I just can't get behind).
