Awesome deep thinking quotes Kristin. I liked that Italian one with making sure to HIT something not just aim at it. The opposite of hitting, is MISSING. Missing is a lot of wasted energy. GOOD GOOD stuff as always.

I like to think of myself as a "will" kind of person, I think that most of us here are.

Have a great week Kristin and mark your calendar for the 19th.
