When you love something made by a terrible person – annie’s blog

A person is not one thing.

A person is a complex collection, light and dark, changing, exploring, experiencing, making decisions, choosing directions, adjusting, happening.

I’m reminded of the following quote…

“Everyone has three lives: a public life, a private life and a secret life.” ― Gabriel García Marquez

Never live a secret life you’d be afraid to be made public.

You don’t have to be there – The Homebound Symphony

An important reminder (with some useful suggestions).

swissmiss | An Old New House

Episode 563: Uncertainty | PM Talks S1:E11 – Mike Vardy

In this latest episode of our monthly series, PM Talks, Patrick Rhone and I dive into the complexities of life and work. This series offers deep discussions that explore meaningful topics from our perspectives. This month, we’re tackling uncertainty—how it shows up in our lives, how we handle it, and how to find certainty in areas where we can have control.

I love that I get to talk to a long time friend every month about the sorts of things we talk about anyway but then it gets recorded so others can listen in.
