“” Making a list and checking it twice…” doesn’t that phrase belong in Santa Claus is Coming to Town? But it’s spring here…why would these words have center stage now when they are best heard in December? What a topsy turvy time with thoughts and perceptions out of kilter. It’s as if you are straddling two (or more) realities trying to find your footing in the one that provides the better balance. So you think…Whether you are ready or not, it’s...
