Finding balance in routine and falling into the steps of adulthood is tricky! I share a chunk of my experience here in my new post.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I just realized he didn’t ghost me. I just dropped the bar so low that he tripped.
When I started this business and carried it over to social media, I made a decision: before I criticize someone’s method, I ask myself, “Why did they do it that way? What do they know that I don’t?”
We could all use a little more humility and a lot more curiosity. Maybe they’re wrong. Maybe their way is flawed. But I’ll tell you this, you’ll never change anyone’s mind by coming at them with a hammer. If you want to lead, learn to ask first.

Hi friends, I’m new here-kind of.
I write about beauty and mental health blogs for the emotionally unavailable & scorched. I write glow-up guides, breakup recovery stories, skincare confessions, & unhinged personal essays that hit a little too close to home.

This story is personal. And it’s an urgent question Christendom must contend with: why are white Christians the meanest people on the internet?
The Messages That Broke Me
Hi Vince, I'm returning from an overseas trip and catching up on reading; any update on VATE? Thanks!
I'll be honest - haven't really done the work for an update (and this is a stock where you need to do the work), but spent some time looking this morning. Looks like the market didn't like Q1 results. Free cash flow of -$77 million, cash declining $62M in the quarter is a pretty big deal on paper - latter figure is ~30% of their market cap before the report.
Infrastructure biz had terrible quarter; management says it's "timing", but anyone who's done this for six months has heard that song befor…
ok thanks!
PS: your business partner is in NZ or from NZ?
Hey Mike. I'm in Rotorua, where abouts are you?

Hey Joe, well if you'd asked me during the school holidays a few decades ago there's a decent chance I would have replied "The Geyserland Hotel". My parents LOVED that place and we went back year after year. It's very sad to read that it's been permanently closed. Message me directly on Seeking Alpha if you'd like to connect; maybe a chat over WhatsApp (I'll have to brush up on my kiwi accent)?
