Sweet Spot

I think I heard this term first related to tennis rackets; that spot on the webbing where the ball will respond the truest off the surface when it makes contact, Probably true for golf club faces and baseball bats too… Concept applied otherwise, Enough pressure, expectation, but not *too* much so. Applicable across so many …

“Oh, What Do You Write?”…Hmm

What exactly do I write here? Good question, good question. Sometimes it feels like a public writing journal, jottings and random and drafty, not too polished, I know my intent overall is to share positive energy, on a good day actually inspire some, maybe a lot, To do good, help others, think differently, more inclusively, …
