The sun’s up, and it’s time to rise from your beds and the depths of your limitations. Today, like every day, is a battlefield. And the enemy? It’s not out there in the world; it’s within you. It’s your complacency, your excuses, your procrastination.

Back in Action: Rethinking My Blogging Approach

I’m back and gearing up to dive back into this platform. Here’s the deal: I’m not entirely sold on WordPress as the prime choice for my site and how I blog. My style?
