  • Serious Lightness in Investigating

    My nerd-iness has kicked in… again! Today marks my first day seriously blogging. Guess what? I bought a WordPress for Dummies; All-in-One. This happens often to me. I will start something new and I will get a book for it to assist me. I guess my come from is to not only a user but being competent at what I do. Mastery in the subject matter is not my aim. So I notice this and I am asking myself “Why won’t I want to be a master at it?” The only answer that come to mind right now is that “It will take too long!” Hmmmm. Something I need to investigate.

    Note to self: Investigate with serious lightness
