Triggers…the Other T

We all have triggers – things that hijack the way we think and the things we do. I have been in “triggered” mode for months. A couple of months ago, out of nowhere, a long term client sent me a…

T is for Transparency

I have been seriously remiss in my writing for the last couple of months. I figured out why. I am on “T”. My spreadsheets of words for this writing experiment are supposed to be about dogs and business.  The only…

More on Stacking…the same S
