My Turn to Face Reality Part Two
I haven’t done a blog and I haven’t done much of anything with my business over the last couple of months. I have ordered a few new books on some topics of interest, trading some esoteric markets, “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” and some Buddhist teachings. Here I am on a hot summer…
Read MoreMy Turn to Face Reality Part One

I am currently reading a book on how to use this platform with…
