Saw this X yesterday and decided to stand on it and wait for someone to come talk to me. Yes, I looked up to be sure there wasn’t a looming piano. 🤣 after a minute and a half my phone rang and it was a client, so I took the call and moved on.

I’ll be back “fateful X” for my next “whom will I meet or get a call from while standing there” exercise.

Everyone hurries his life on and suffers from a yearning for the future and a weariness of the present. But he who bestowes all of his time on his own needs, who plans out every day as if it were his last, neither longs for nor fears the morrow.

The cover of my book has significance because I wanted it to be simple. I didn’t want anyone holding my book with a fancy cover featuring a high res photo of booze. I heard one woman’s Ted Talk where she explained a wine bottle on a billboard she passed everyday was a temptation. With the holidays coming please start your preparations to remain alcohol free because it’s going to take a plan. The days of winging it are over and like my book cover, being alcohol free isn’t an afterthought.
