Big, Chunky, Now or Never Life Decisions Require Clarity and for me, that requires a bi-annual festival of Denial where I turn off many of the things I love to eat, drink, and inhale and clear my schedule to take stock of my body, mind, and soul, check the math for my end game, and listen as hard as I can to my spiritual entourage, and entreat them to give me an orderly, sensical packet of clues/genius sequences/lucid instructions on how to make a decent balloon animal for this next phase.
