There’s a certain grace in accepting what your life is and embracing all the good things that have been – but there’s still an expectation of good things to come. Not necessarily what you expected.
No matter how civilized we are and how much society has curbed violent behavior. Human beings still have the same genes they had 10,000 years ago.

My friends have said, ‘Wait, you’re pretty, and you sing?

When you’re running a company, you have employees – lots of them – that can interrupt your schedule. You have customers that can interrupt your schedule.
