CAVEATS AND INTENTION

Let me get this out of the way, up front just so we are in agreement with this project:

This is my opinion. Although I may come back with academic studies, this is not a scientific body of work. Also, I am working out this opinion as I head forward into the fray. So fact checking is going to be a pointless exercise.

I am not perfect, nor is this work. My opinions are probably mostly wrong. And I do not practice what I preach on a daily basis, although it is getting better. Part of that is a self-value and Catholic guilt stemmed from my work life balance situation of my own family. I need to get over that.

A basic outline will be followed but I am going to organically explore topics. There may be some jumping back and forth.

The intent of this project is to motivate one or more persons to live life more creatively. I dedicate this work to my children, who hopefully will benefit from this. Maybe one day they can look back and read this as a parent themselves, and it will help them in some form. This is also my permission slip to explore the life that I have always wanted to live.
