It’s been a minute

Hi all, It has been too long since I sent out the Dollop of Wisdom newsletter (nearly one year!). Besides getting married, going on our honeymoon, buying a house in Superior, CO and my wife and I both getting new jobs, not much has been going on. Rest assured, though I’ve been busy reading and listening for dollops of wisdom. You will find a few delectable little treats here.

This a challenge for me to keep in mind at all times. Sometimes I am too cold and just want to get the task at hand completed, so I don’t always approach people with kindness or charm. Growth area for me!
