If you’re anything like me, you tend to take on new, cool and exciting projects fairly often. One at a time, they find their way to your plate. And one by one, you find time in your life for each of them. You move something here, and squish something there. All of a sudden, you […]
Say Yes More (or: how to step outside the skin you’re in)
