a to do list
always looking for new ways to think about goals and to do lists. what do you think of this one? it came to me thanks to carol, one of our vancouver bloggers meetup members.
the roots of inspiration
vivien, who i know through my favourite women’s networking group, SWAN, is hosting a group writing project around the theme of inspiration. after having participated in aaron potts’ fabulous group writing project on the theme of success, i am all fired up to talk about this one, too!

jack walks down the street
jack walks down the street, whistling to himself. he turns left. there is a sign somewhere. he walks further down that street. he makes another turn, to the right. there is another sign, “dead end street”. whistle, whistle, whistle. he keeps on walking. another sign that proclaims, “this is a dead end street!” whistle, whistle,… Continue reading jack walks down the street
