The Network
If you really want to start your own business, forget business cards. Forget a great website. Forget building a list. Build a network. Nothing will help build a business with clients you love more than a network of people that love you. Converging On...
Keep It Inhouse
Chicago reminds me how amazing friends are – and how amazing work-life can be – but, also reminds me that I still have me work to do. Pretty good, all in all. Speaking of pretty... OK, speaking of friends, one of mine met me in Chicago and we drove the...
It’s All In Who You Know
Despite that I am still me, there's a lot of love for me in Chicago. It seems like everywhere I go, I connect with someone from there. This time through, I met a few of my people and missed a few. There's a good chance I'll be back, though. Of the...
You Never Leave Yourself
After the breakdown in Ohio, I did make it to Chicago. Walking around in Chicago, something triggers an old anger. The old conversations start running through my head. I should have said this. Next time, I'll say that. And when I say “old” anger, I'm...
A Precarious Start
First stop, Pittsburgh! Nothing new in Pittsburgh; an old friend. I thought it was funny to be starting the journey of saying good-bye to the known, to the stability, to the mediocre by saying 'hello' to the old. It's been about three years since I've seen...
Be Not Nobody
Do you subscribe to a bunch of email lists? Yeah, me, too. However, there are only a couple I read religiously. Mostly friends' blogs, but there are a couple others. I'm sitting outside the restaurant I valet at and I'm passing time reading emails....
Finally Fulfilled
It's not what you do that makes you feel fulfilled, it's what you put into it. Many of us have come to a place in our lives where we lack fulfilment. We have convinced ourselves that we need to do something more fulfilling with our lives... and off we go...
The BS in finding your passion
We're bombarded these days with this idea that there's this one thing we're meant to do... for ever... and ever... and ever. When we find it, we'll finally be happy. Simply put: that isn't true for everyone. There's two problems with that idea. The...
Beware the Ides of March!
**note: I've had this post title on my to-do list since early in February and I'm just writing it now... one day before the title's homage. Why? I was waiting for the announcement at the bottom to be completely ready and perfect. It's not.** Why wasn't I...
Go to bed!
Ahhh... shavasana - the corpse pose. Who doesn't love a good Shavasana after a powerful workout? How about a nice meditative Shavasana after a good energy class? I've even seen people take Shavasana on the couch in the middle of the day. 😀 That's for us...
Un-Resolved
The new year is coming! The new year is coming! Hurry! Make a list of all the things you want to do for the first time, do a little better, do more of. Set a goal to a achieve that thing... or things... that will make you happy. Or... Take a bit of time...
Missing Expectations
I was driving into class today and passed a single child standing by the side of the road with their books. Nothing around her. There she stood, just waiting. But not just waiting. Waiting… and hoping…
Hoping the bus wouldn’t come.
You remember don’t you? Getting up every morning and waiting for the bus, but secretly…
