Mellow
How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life? I was a very high strung little boy. My uncle nicknamed me Fred Smith because I reminded him of Federal Express. As I got older I learned to focus my nervous energy and got into choirs and theater. It was…

Not Doing a TO DO
Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done. I would like to sell a lot more art than I actually do. That is not something that never gets done, but it does fall in the category of “almost never.” I can’t think of a single thing I know I need to do that I…
