Time seems to be the variable that we often hear about. I could do this is if I only had the time. I don’t have enough time. I would love to do that but wow, the time. Time, Time, Time. We may not have any control over how much time we have but we have almost total control over how we use it. Our paradigm shifts this season all take time. It takes …
