My writing has tapered off. For those who enjoy these posts, I apologize. Life comes and goes with every day and our focus changes based on our present needs. Recently, I’ve been focusing on letting shit go. There’s so much to wrap ourselves up with from the holidays, muling over future job opportunities versus present… Read More
Pinochle is the Biz
Life is like a game of pinochle; you bid on what you’re dealt plus gut feel, trade your weak cards for new ones, meld with your partner, and see what tricks you pull together. A good team plays off one another finding fun no matter what cards come their way. Connecting with one another enables… Read More
No Matter What You Do, Do It Well
My dad used to tell me, “If you do something, do it right.” If we spend our time and energy on something, we might as well get the most return out of it as possible. To get the greatest return requires directing our attention on the task at hand and making doing as well as… Read More
The Biz of Life
It’s so easy to get lost in the chaos, trials and tribulations of work. We get absorbed and overwhelmed. Stress consumes us and we allow our lives to be eaten away by working extra to “stay ahead.” The fact is there is no staying ahead of it. In our modern world of push, push, push,… Read More

Others simply do not think as we do. We all experience different universes. Over the holiday break I observed my daughter… Read More
Keep the Head Up
Having a little more time over the holidays affords a time for reflection. A year ago, I posted Managing Our Time and Distractions and linked to the YouTube video, Look Up. I still think it’s a good video. Others do as well as it gained another 11,000,000 views in the last year. Some of the… Read More
Finding Reflections of Ourselves
Last week we spoke of balancing the shadow and light within ourselves. Our ego-centric view is a tool. Like all tools we need to use our ego to the extent it’s useful. Being in the center of the universe can get in the way of our continual improvement and integration with our environment and the… Read More
