But seriously - WHAT's with the cosmic energy right now? Is something in retrograde!?

Anyway - got a great question and stumper for QOTW this week. Give it a listen and allow me to fumble through an answer.

Here's an idea: if you fell off the NY resolution bandwagon already, or just need an extra marshmallow to get there, let's all try the Austin Kleon 29-Day Challenge Post: https://austinkleon.com/2020/01/31/29-day-challenge/

And one page downloadable: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b7xrffwydt51y3h/29-day-challenge.pdf?dl=0

Grab that big fat red Sharpie to X each day out too!

It's okay if you need to start a little later than the first of the month...! 😉

Thank you for the opportunity to take the month of January off from social media! It was restorative.

But...no rest for the wicked now! Here's what I did during my time away:

1. Talked about meetings with my friend Chad Priest. BTW, here's my podcast interview with him from season 1: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nurse-attorney-emergency-disaster-expert-chad-priest/id1355247028?i=1000460798891

2. Read more books and wrote some blogs!
