Because everyone loves a good story
Lifelong Passion vs Side Hustle
What do you do when your side hustle (or your busy schedule or your lack of motivation) seems to be crushing your lifelong passion? How do you make time for everything you’d like to do?
I may not have all the answers, but I’ll share what’s helping me at the moment with these very questions.
Thanksgiving at Christmas
Today I want to nominate three popular Christmas movies as Thanksgiving movies instead. They seem to have nothing in common at first glance, but upon further inspection I think you’ll agree that they’re the same story in different settings.
