Shut Your Mouth
And open your ears. (No, I don’t, nor have I ever, had an earring. 🤷♂️) Anyhow… This is one of those pieces of advice that comes up all the time in one’s life. Or at least it does in mine. Even more these days with the advent of “active listening”, “soft skills”, etc. in the…

Treat Yourself Like a Friend
09/21/24: This is an older post I wrote back when I first started this blog. The tone of my site has changed a lot since I wrote this, but in light of recent events, and on the off chance it may help someone else, I am going to go ahead and repost it. Sometimes when…
