1. Your idea of a clean desk means you can see over the top of the piles.

2. You know exactly where everything is in those piles.

3. You can spend hours leafing through the pages of a dictionary.

4. You can write an eight-page email and feel like you’ve only written a paragraph.

5. You know everything happens for a reason…even if you have to make one up.

That is today.

I’m about to be talked into doing something a year ago I said I wouldn’t do. My dear friend Alice said to me, “This is one of those Star Wars moments where you just have to accept your destiny.” I’m too nice to repeat what I said in response.

I’m in a foul mood and it’s only … Read more »
