My intent for this week’s message was to write about the improvement made to my website. But I didn’t make any.

The website is, after all, an adjunct to my Substack initiative. Linking this new venture to my aged website reminded me of just how out of date the site has become in light of my retirement from consulting.

Substack, however, is a different story. Literally.

My foray into this fortuitous platform was guided by my desire to “publish” a manuscript I have been working on for the better part of fourteen years. Though incomplete, publishing in installments using Substack has fulfilled another part of my well-intended strategy.

The drive to post something new each week has prompted me to review the existing material and draft the missing components of what promises to be a four-part, book-length series.

This is my one good thing promised in the title for this week’s message.

While my website has been neglected due to watching too much football, Wisconsin volleyball, the women’s national soccer team, eating and a scheduled visit to the eye surgeon, I have continued writing with such confidence that I am posting new material twice weekly for the benefit of my four faithful readers of my Substack venture.

The Thanksgiving holiday is over. Christmas and its inherent responsibility to travel to be with family is still a few weeks away.

This leaves the interim distraction free, except for taking time off to shovel the latest snowfall.

My website, which has seen an uptick in visits, will continue to get its makeover. And in time I will turn my attention back to creating content for my YouTube channel.

It’s the holidays! Time to dream and dream big!
