... running, sweat dripping from the brow; lost in a densely textured space. Loud. Hoping for an artery of result. Seems as if expectations fade over time.

Hurdles and Obstacles In closing out this revealing series on trial and error, I promised to offer up an easy formula for your consideration.

Trial and Error In a recent blog post ( http://www.dahgurl.com ) Shawn Mason Spence drafted an interesting piece that included a powerful one liner. She said, "I've thought about plenty, halfway implemented many, but nothing really stuck." Upon reading that phrase, I immediately conducted a team huddle... no sideline coach present. All by myself darting thru deep thought. Read More Add Comment (0) Hits: 397
