Knowing when to walk away
A few weeks ago, after I shared my plan to sell my business, a close friend observed that I “know when to walk away.” I’ve been thinking a lot about that statement and how it applies to many different circumstances in my life, wondering if it means I give up or move on.

I’ve defended my consumerism with numerous excuses - I lost weight and … Continue reading The urge to purge
