Note: I first began writing this post in early to mid-March, only finishing it now in early April. Much has changed in our world since then, but the overall message does not. https://youtu.be/v4_0BrBF2Jc In this episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (Q-Who), Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Guinan are discussing the events of the Enterprise's encounter… Continue reading Kick in the Complacency
A few years ago I embarked on a social media project. It was a project about encouragement. I began thinking about the impending New Year's and the inevitable resolutions that people make.
