Thanks, Maurice! It’s been overwhelming to watch - especially after what happened in North Carolina. But it’s not done yet - those Santa Ana winds are somehow picking up as an arctic blast freezes the rest of us. I’ll keep mentioning it!

Thank you, Moon, for recommending me! I admire your loyalty to your own goals and schedule, your stability and commitment! I'm far too chaotic for that. I hope your readers will enjoy my writing. I'm 1000 emails behind.... never able to catch up... but my infinite jest combined with infinite anger keep my tank full, and so, I write. 😊

I want to keep things manageable for myself. Burnout is not fun. I once had a goal of writing an email a day, but realize I could never fulfill that, so I'm just doing what I can.

Anger fires you up, so it's the passion behind your writings right?

Yeah, burnout. I know about it, and I am feeling it come up again when I see my inbox full of emails from Substacks I subscribed to but don't have time to read! I think I have a problem with addiction. Addiction to reading everything out there, an impossible task. Anyway, do you mean, in your question, if my passion is right? I don't know. I've always been hyper passionate about life and whatever fires up my passion, I have to follow, even if takes me to hell. Because trying to ignore it is not possible. It makes me restrict myself to the point of stagnation and suffocation. So, if I am wrong, I crash and learn.

Reading your words I can feel your passion already. Whether it's right only you will know. The one thing I know is, you never know till you pursue them. And once you have aligned them with your purpose in life, that's where you will get your breakthrough and achieve self-actualization.
