Talk about what you love, not what you don’t

Remember the game "Telephone"? The game where someone would whisper a phrase in their neighbor's ear which would then be passed quietly around the "neighborhood", hopefully emerging at the end of the circle unscathed?

Not only did I NOT finish 50 activities before my 50th birthday on July 23 of that year, but I haven't written a blog post since that time. Social media posts? Oh, heck yeah. I've become quite the content writer. A new follow-up book to "Confessions of a [...]
