I feel like I’m playing hooky today. I’m not on vacation, I’m not taking a sick day, but I’m not checking email or doing work either. I’m in between jobs. It’s been three and a half years since I was transitioning from one job to another, and this time, it’s a little different. It’s different [...]

Be rid of all things toxic. Now I’m not talking about not smoking (I don’t) or not drinking (I keep a low profile there too) or ditching other ridiculously harmful habits.
