Today is a good day to reset and refocus.  My year started off with a bang. I turned fifty and had a wonderful party with family and friends. I was able to pivot and keep my day job when changes and layoffs were afoot. I was working out and feeling good. I came into the new year with a can-do, can-win attitude. Everything felt great, like things were going the right way, until it didn’t. My body feels ugh. My mind feels muddled, and my attitude is not faring any better.

The Ryan Davis situation, with him appearing on Club Shay Shay and discussing his daughter in the light that he did, is an example of when trying to be too deep goes wrong. I get it because there have been viral moments out of Club Shay Shay; Davis was hoping to create and capitalize on his turn. Unfortunately, this viral moment came at the expense of his daughter.  Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! So if y'all don't know, Ryan Davis is a comedian, and he has recently funded his own comedy special. Part of his promotion for said special is to make media appearances, and Club Shay Shay was his most recent stop. I don't know if. Shannon Sharp is not taking any journalism courses or lessons on his own. If Sharpe is not, he really should look into it because his behaviour and interviewing skills are not giving journalism. He is not a journalist. He is not a coach. He is not a therapist. He is not anything with any credentials.  Where this comes into play...

Article: How to be Growth-Oriented When You Feel Beaten Down It's a good day to believe in yourself again. Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! Every so often, more than I would like, I fall off my game. The plan not only goes sideways, but it gets completely lost. This happens when an unexpected turn of events interrupts the daily happenings. I get distracted, and then I just stop.

The Revival of Self: Healing Beyond Loss and Rediscovering You Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! I write cinquain poems. Granted, I have not written any in a while, but they are one of my favorite styles of poetry to dabble in. A cinquain is a five-line poem with specific syllable requirements for each line, similar to a haiku. Every now and then, one will pop up on my blog with increased views.
