Isn't that the sad truth, Laura? Sometimes I think I need my own personal wrangler. Oh, that would be you!

And I didn't put math in the title!

Aha! "Abstract" math is good for something. Don't worry, when I was getting my Masters' Degree in Mathematics I said something like, "When they cart me away in an ambulance, knowing this stuff is not going to help me." I get it...

Limits are limits--in math, in life, in writing. But seeing different kinds of limits, like you see in calculus, can help us think about them differently. When you conquer marketing, I'll be right there to benefit from you triumphing over that limit!

With you, Julie - Geometry and Trig...I hate math! In spite of being a career accountant. But accounting is arithmetic, which is waaaaay easier!

Limits on myself? Only ones I set in my mind. Oh, and as I age, my body is setting a few. 😉

I really do. It's crickets in here today.

Ohmygod! Trigonometry was what defeated me too! I just knew instinctively that I would never ever ever in my life need to know the cosine of an angle. And I never have.

All math stopped at trigonometry. Now, algebra...that was the kind of math I liked. And I still use it - every time I write an Excel formula. 🙂

But you did it beautifully, and now I'm thinking about where I've unnecessarily limited myself. I think my wall has long been marketing, and it's what I'm working on this year—opening myself up to doing sales on my terms and getting help where needed.
