Are You a Lifelong Learner?

 


In my opinion, the best way to be a better version of yourself today than you were yesterday is to learn something new every day for the rest of your life.  It was easy when you were obtaining your formal education.  Your courses were planned.  You followed your teachers guidelines.  For most people, the learning stopped on graduation day.  The reason for this is lifelong learning is no longer a requirement so most people simply settle in.

The bosses at my day job are visiting us this month.  I'm introducing an idea that inspires personal growth.  If the idea is accepted, I will share more with others as I believe anyone can get back on the learning trail with a little nudge.  Feel free to reach out to me if you are curios about my idea.  Have a great day.

Snow Day


 It's a snow day today.  I've been on my computer for several hours chiseling away with my new art program, Canva.  I need the program to make sure all of Wilson's pictures are blurred prior to releasing "The Adventures of Castaway Wilson" on St. Patrick's day when most of the snow should be melting.  I will need to leave early for my day job due to the snow sticking on the roads making travel a bit tricky this morning.  If you live in the Midwest, be careful.  Have a great day.

Pardon My Dust – Book Construction in Progress

 My new writing tools are putting me in a state of chaos.  This is going to be ongoing until March 17, 2025.  The easy route would have been to operate under the status quo which was satisfactory.  I'm about raising the bar.  I want to publish a book that my readers will want to display on their coffee table for their friends to explore while visiting.  The front cover is a home run thanks to an amazing local artist, J.T. Egley, who donated his art for the good of the sick kids at our local Children's hospital.  I feature a world famous character in my next project.  Wilson is copyright protected, hence the need to expand my capabilities to publish his likeness without getting sued.  That's why I'm changing it up.  It's messy.

It's getting frosty in these parts rather quickly.  This is the perfect environment to hibernate in my home office and get acquainted with my new writing tools.  I will emerge with new skills and a coffee table book that will put a smile on my readers faces.  Thanks for your patience with me.  The saga continues.  Have a great day.
