Derek, it's a joy coming across your newsletter. I almost called you a "youngling", then I Googled the updated definition - from infancy to adulthood. So that doesn't fit.

You have arrived! and you are willing to share how to have a week that doesn't suck. I love that.

Be proud. You have an advocate and fan in someone who is more than twice your age.

BTW I got here because you restacked the Corporate Dropout Manual. You are wise and smart, Derek.

Donna, thank you so much for your words of support! I’m glad the newsletter found you — happy you’re here. We often accept what we think we deserve. If we don’t know alternatives exist, why would we think we deserve anything different? We do the best we can with what we have. Many of us get stuck looking for maps when we could be building our own. Here’s to collective learning and creating work weeks that don’t suck!

Derek, let's hope that our precious readers get that our reality is created by the words we choose (our perception) and how we play the crappy cards life deals us.
