Let's Talk

Taking a Break from Blogging


I have been blogging regularly since 2011. As of today, I have published 922 posts over the past 15 years, as well as a substantial number of podcast episodes to accompany those posts.

While I never run out of things to write about and I love sharing what I have learned (and am still learning) with you, the time has come for me to take a break from blogging and podcasting.

I recently suffered an injury that requires extensive rehab and recovery time, and I also have another book in the works that I want to prepare for publication.

During my blogging break, I encourage you to dive into my archived posts. I also have seven books available for purchase, either on Amazon or via my website:
