2010 - A Space Oddyssey

Have you ever had the feeling that something is so overwhelming that you just don't know where to start?

I have.

Actually, I felt so overwhelmed that I really didn't know where to start, nor did I have the drive to start it. An overwhelming sense of chaos had become so familiar, that I just accepted it as the norm.

That is - until last night.

I'm working with a friend, in creating a map out of the chaos and into a life that is free of clutter with clear direction.

The journey is going to consist of a number of different points. Actually, for accountability - here they are:
