WELCOME TO MY PRECARIOUSLY BALANCED UNIVERSE…
...in which I ask important questions like "If I'm the centre of the universe, why don't I get my way more often?" and "What if the laws of the universe are merely suggestions?" and of course the key questions, "Have you subscribed? How will I know you like me if you don't?"Join my universe
Meet me...
I need to remember this…
I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often. ~ Brian TracyThe Comet of Nin
There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~ Anais Nin

I have a blog and I’m not afraid to use it
I turned a corner somewhere. Crossed a line. Went through a doorway. And I’m not sure it’s a good corner/line/doorway. I hate 20-somethings. I no longer keep quiet when something pisses me off. I’m scaring the 20-somethings when they do something … Continue reading
