Adulthood  It’s a million forms and a million renewals, enrollment renewals, that you personally have to do. It’s picking a passion of yours, a subject matter or a vocation, and practicing it professionally to earn a living and to give back to your community. You have to take care of yourself and your environment/home, of…

I feel like the act (or the process) of letting go of whatever it is that’s bothering you is much like the process of unclogging a sink. That’s only in some ways; it’s an imperfect comparison. But when you (initially) unclog a sink or a tub, isn’t it true that there’s usually some residual dirt…

I, like many people, wanted to do something tangible and practical to help certain causes in the world. I wanted to make a huge impact; something astronomical. But I recently realized that I, like most people, don’t have things like nonprofit leadership experience; business savvy (helping people through helping to make available good-paying jobs–rewarding types…
