Whether you lean more to Prince or Mary Oliver, how are you dealing with this wild and wonderful thing called life?
I tend to keep a scorecard on my life. It used to be about practical things like am I in the right career, with the right person, making the right amount of money. Now, it’s about less practical, but more basic (and intangible) things, like am I being good to my family and true to my self. “This-n-That” is where I put stories that don’t fit anywhere else, but somehow want to fit somewhere. Some are stories of my own experiences, other are stories where others have captured far better what I want to say and share.
Please take a look around. Pick up what you want, leave what you don’t and share some of how you live your own “wild and precious life.”
