In Lieu of Michelle Obama's amazing new book, Becoming, I wanted to share with you my "swerves". I have always thought of myself as/have always been a box checker. Always trying to do the "right" thing, in line with the ultimate plan. However, reflecting back a bit, I did have my fair share of diversions, sudden shifts that were not in line with the long term plan and checklist. They were my "swerves". Read on and see what they were and how they impacted my life.
