Okay, so here we are. It's happy Monday, right? So if you haven't noticed from the title project comeback, I'm in a bit of a mess. And you know what? I said, let me take this bad experience and turn it into a learning experience for you. Let's turn this something sour or negative, supposedly, into something productive and beautiful that you guys could

what I want to talk to you about today is, well, I did a whole maybe like December, January intro about how to have this

amazing year, right? And then my year has been pretty, pretty difficult. And my schedule is

really off. Like on everything in my life that is supposed to be happening, it's just not.

And I said, let me share that with you so that I can tell you exactly how I'm
