The clock is ticking.

Don’t carry anger that is not yours.
The 2024 Operating Plan
Personal
I will fight against inertia by being more deliberate with my time. Time is not an infinite resource, and the contours of life can change rapidly. Do what serves your heart and spirit and gives your life meaning. Remove what doesn’t. Only waste time if that is precisely what you intend.
Social
Continue your commitment to being thoughtful, open, joyful, empathetic, and giving in all my relationships. Compassion and grace come first. Initiate interactions. Don’t be a passive friend. Be an advocate for those you love.
