On Achieving Your Goals, Escaping Tyrannical To-Do-Lists, Life Lessons, and a Beautiful Poem
Good evening readers and writers.
The harsh, cold weather will soon be saying its goodbye.
Waiting for it as well?
I’m a little bit under the weather today, but I haven’t forgotten about your stories. Like every week, you’ve been cooking up some great ones.

Thank you for these great stories.
See you in the next one.
