First and foremost, I don’t believe in deleting email. They are a fantastic way to keep track of correspondence. It would be extremely rare for me [...]

Birthdays and Celebrations

Hi, today is my birthday, and as I celebrate another year of achievements and opportunities, I pondered the significance of birthdays and celebrations.
How do you celebrate your special days and special events?
If you take too long to think about this - you need to speak to me and change this.
Celebrations uplift us, they give us [...]
