NY Resolutions No One Keeps

Posted on January 10, 2020January 17, 2020 by melly

In 2008, young and stupid, I had in mind a big purpose in life. So I made ten NY resolutions (for 2009).

I’ve since continued with the practice. 2020 is the 12th year going!

Thoughts on Joshua Harris

What makes you think you won’t do the same? I hope I wouldn’t, but I don’t know.

‘How Boring. I Quit.’

Posted on July 13, 2019May 2, 2023 by melly

Let alone work, .. if you’re a new parent, aren’t your routine quite decided for the next 15 years or something? So do you just quit out of boredom?

I’ve Got Gold!

Posted on April 30, 2019May 1, 2019 by melly

Living for myself, self discovery, right? 
So I dug and dug within and .. did I find gold .. ?  I would have found gold first in Sovereign Hill the other week when I went panning with my nephew!  But in my heart, I found only endless digging.
