This lesson from Oprah's Life Class didn't manifest itself in my personal life, but in my professional life.
It started several months ago. I noticed unusual activity on a website. I suspected the worse, so I contacted customer support.
All they said was that I needed to change my login information and all should be fine.
A couple of months later, the same activity resurfaced again, I contacted customer support, but never got a response back.
Then at that point, I knew I had to "wake up" from this nightmare.
I finally decided to close the account.

I have been doing this already to some degree with the blog posts. Now, I felt that the time was right to also do the same with Twitter.

Santa might not visit me this year. So, I feel quite comfortable taking this risk. 2011 can only get better from here, right?
Just in case you missed it, here are a couple of videos starring the big jolly one himself.
Since today happens to be National Humbug Day, this first video may just do it.
Since I don't like ending things on a bad note, here's the second one with Santa and Siri.
