curing motion sickness

  Have you ever been sea-sick? How about disoriented? Life has always tended toward disorientation, even when we seek stability. We keep moving. Face forward or eyes closed, we still keep moving.

Everybody else sucks at stuff too.” ~ Gary Vaynerchuck,  Medium I'm sure that if I took a look back at my writings from this time of year for the last few years, my messaging to myself would be pretty much the same.  New Year's day is just one more day on the calendar.
