Day 11 (Dave) – What If I Made A Habit Of Upgrading My Personal O/S?
Today did not feel like a revelation. It felt like reading the manual for a machine I have not finished building. The persona exercise laid everything out—who I claim I want to be, what traits…

Day 8 (Sheila) – Breaking Habits in Real Time
I didn’t get to post this yesterday because I spent the day at my mom’s house, helping my sister with a yard sale. I took my 30 Day Journal along and scribbled some notes, but…
Day 7 (Dave) – Elemental Courage
