The Power of Walking Away
I think of the power of walking away as akin to the power of silence. The choice to be still rather than be drawn into the vortex of a presenting option.

Memory Lane: Money, Self and Stuff
It’s that time of year, again. In a debt-driven economy dependent on perpetual consumption, December brings with it the biggest retail event of the year!
