This has nothing to do with anything, but did you know (of course you didn’t) that I’ve been reading your stuff for I don’t know, perhaps 45 minutes and can’t find you name anywhere? Is that on purpose? I was talking to Bruce Roche this afternoon and he wanted to know how to spell your last name so he could look you up in his grade book.

I couldn’t even find it in my address book, so I, too, am remiss, or absented minded or whatever. Zienseis? Help! roy

In the meantime, take a break and grab a cupcake!

I know things get busy, but you’ve always got to find time for you (coming from the working mother!).

Glad you got to write (sorry I interrupted you!).

Oh no, too many exclamation marks….

[...] unknown posted a noteworthy aricle today onHere’s a small snippetI consider that a success. But now that I think back to the decision I made to start writing in the first place, I realize I wanted to freelance for other people because I wasn’t as confident as I needed to be about my own writing. … [...]

Time constraints and conflicting priorities affect many of us. When to give to others, when to take care of our own passions. And it’s never an easy choice, especially for those in high demand – amazing person plus amazing talent – yet there is wisdom to be gained by such demands. And while we often don’t appreciate it in the moment, it will ultimately reveal itself in the rear view mirror.
