Which brings me to my #Caturday post. Have you ever failed? Of course, you have … now think … what happened next? Every time I’ve stumbled—and there’s been oodles of times, something that wasn’t in my thinking or vision has flowed. Could failure be the see to success? Hmmmm.

That’s my past week … how about you … what are you up to?
