Quote of the day:

“May your morning be slow.” - Me.

I hope you are having a slow Friday Morning. Perhaps the last morning before vacation? May even the FIRST day of Christmas vacation. I hope so. I hope you're sipping a nice hot coffee in your jammies. The house is quiet. You went through your emails, selected mine and I get to share this moment in time with you - thank you. More than likely you are sitting on the toilet.

My goals for 2026 are wild.

I hope yours are too.

I hope it scares you a little bit.

I hope you take aim. Breathe. Stay Calm. When it’s feels right - do not hesitation and take the shot. Then run towards it as fast as you can.

What does that look like for you?

What does that look like for me? The Hickory Algorithm? All the doors we have walked through. The doors we have opened. The connections we have made are bringing a set the foundations with new tools, bringing them into rich soil to sow.

Next year, I will be launching a monthly paid subscriber exclusive email. I’ll be discussing random ideas and asking for feedback, snippets of my long term writing projects, and a paid subs zoom down the road.

I don’t want to get too into it.

You got Christmas shopping to do.
