Guilt free weekends

Today’s Sunshine: Saturday\’s are easy to get off schedule. That is as much schedule as I have. Anyway I have decided weekends are made to be off schedule. Especially in the summer. My new policy is to have \”guilt free\” weekends. I do what I do, when I do and to heck with the \”ought […]

Reaching a flow state

Today\’s Ramble: When I was taking group coaching with Robert Middleton one of the things he suggested was to start the day with reading something inspirational. His choice was something from James Clear. I have been following him for some time so that was an easy \”do\”. Except of course I didn\’t do it but […]

Breaking all the rules

Today\’s Ramble: Continuing along with my \”to heck with the rules of the road\” blogging best practices I am now in the process of adding a Message board to the site. One post I read about message boards said they were great but do not start one until you have a minimum of 1000 unique […]

Failure is a natural consequence of trying

Today\’s Ramble: This morning I attended my last session with my coaching group. It\’s a great group but too expensive to continue for now. I got a lot from it – the best was to start this website and just see what happens. The session about joy and renewal. Exactly what I needed for my […]

What will the day bring?

I have been blogging for a long time. Since 1998 actually when I started with a daily message from my e card site. Since that time I have shared things small and large with a small group of friends – some of who (you know who you are – smile) have followed me through many […]

The element of surprise

So – yesterday I talked about needing some work and today I found a job on Craigslist that I applied for. Even got an interview. A small, part time, office job but that is what I want. Probably two weeks before I find out if I have a chance but hey – made a positive […]

I don\’t want to do anything

I get caught up in the thought that I need to be doing things. Important things. Lasting things. Right now I am dealing with the process of being unemployed. It\’s a sort of heavy, unsettling thing that makes me feel that my life isn\’t quite as important as it should be. That a paycheck would […]

The hidden benefits of friends coming over

One time I went to a party in a nice, modest home. The kids were on their best behavior and the house was prepared with all the things that go into a home party. It was a very fun time. The host and hostess were happy, fun people and everyone had a good time. As […]

Do you ever wonder what life is like after?

I bet most people do. I mean everything seems rather pointless if there isn\’t something after don\’t you think? But what is real and what is wishful thinking? Every religion seems to have some tidy answers but I don\’t know that any have \”all\” the answers. I think in some way everything is connected to […]

Stepping stones to nowhere

Hurray! I just finished an Google Adwords course on Udemy. I started on April 9th and spent an hour each day learning it. Missed a few days but for the most part I kept at it. There were 100 videos to watch and learn from – so very extensive but over the top worth while. […]
