The Daily Memo | January 29, 2024 | Consequences to Choices
I was reminded by an acquaintance of mine that there’s more at stake than what feels good in the moment we make choices. Then what? In the short run, there may be a great deal of satisfaction from eating that 1,000-calorie bowl of ice cream (speaking from experience). Then what? 3 ½ of those add […]
The Daily Memo | July 27, 2023 | The Circle Game by Guest Author Jay Payleitner

Head colds, stubbed toes, rustling leaves, etc. In other words, overstating the order of things. Sorta like driving to the front row at Costco, getting a prime parking spot, and saying to yourself, God […]
