Ever feel like your life is running on autopilot? Or maybe, like Phil in the movie Groundhog Day, you wake up to Sonny & Cher singing “I got you babe”. One day looks and feels like a repeat of the day before.
I witness a lot of change happening in and around my life. I see it in the world too. I cannot control that narrative but I do think about living a life I can be proud of.
