I wish God gave me a book of my life. Then I could read it as a guidebook and follow it accordingly. Fortunately, that is not how life works and if it did it would rob us of the beauty of choice and freewill. Currently, I am waiting to hear back on a job opportunity … Continue reading

I’m sure you have been asked before, what do you want to do with your life?

New Year’s Day, and the unpredicted arrival of 2013 to the dismay of the Mayans, is just around the corner.
