The Human Body is a System

I had few health challenges until I was 35. Then the chaos-theory-reverberation-making-proverbial-shit-hit-the-fan. But this is not a woe is me post. It's a reflection on the circuitous path we have to walk/run/dance/jump when trying to investigate what ails us. Wait, Lisa. Isn't that what doctors are for? If I could... Continue reading

Silly in Serious Times

2020 has ushered in some heavy shit. We had a lot going on before - global warming, healthcare, inequities, high chocolate prices - and now we've lomped on a global pandemic, high unemployment, and a divisive election. And murder hornets. And a record number of wildfires, floods, and hurricanes. None... Continue reading

Further on BHAAGs - Big Hairy Audacious Agile Goals

Pic credit gumbyworld.com In the last post, I offered a modification to the popular BHAG - a BHAAG, adding AGILE with a nod to our current times. The major idea being that we should not wait to plan until things return to normal, that goals can be motivating and helpful... Continue reading

BHAAGS for Covid Era Planning - Big Hairy Audacious AGILE Goals

Many of us have put off planning because, for the last six months, we've had to cancel or modify everything we intended to do. Jobs, vacations, and get togethers have gone by the wayside. It may have been draining, devastating, or depressing. Or all three! And with the pandemic far... Continue reading

"How's the half-marathon training going?" a friend asked.

When I read her email, my initial reaction was: ACK! What a question! Which is silly, because I was the one who said - who declared for all to know - that I plan to walk the Duke City Half-Marathon in Albuquerque in March. And this is what friends do.... Continue reading

Is it LUCK or the Self-fulfilling Prophecy?

I've been exploring the self-fulfilling prophecy. Why? Not sure, maybe because I'm keen to generate new or more possibility. Check out this 5-minute video that explores if luck really exists and how our approach to luck might change our outcomes. Do you have a lucky charm? Say NO to rabbit's... Continue reading

Biker's Bell - Further on the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Yesterday I wrote about the self-fulfilling prophecy and how it can enhance our lives or increase our struggles. Here's a humorous (I hope) essay about a biker's bell that demonstrates what can happen when one's self-fulfilling prophecy swirls out of control. This draft is based on a blog post I...

Swirly Thinking - The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

I believe in the self-fulling prophecy. The sociological idea that predictions make things more likely to come true. Example: The young man worries that his girlfriend is going to dump him. This prediction affects his actions. He seems more leery, acts more needy, and expresses more doubts when with her.... Continue reading

Follow Up - Experiment: The Decision Filter

I began using this decision filter one week ago. So how did it go? Interesting. Well. Disappointing. Enlightening. Mixed results, in other words, but my experiment was beneficial, and I'll give it another week. I want to see what's possible and if I can learn from my observations which included:...

Compartmentalization

Found in an old notebook. Thought it apropos to this week's Decision Filter exercise. I compartmentalize so each precious moment is designed and deliberate. Moves things forward. Pardon if I pass on sharing feelings, worries, or concerns. I have them, but can set emotional distractions aside and be here, now,... Continue reading

Intracranial Misadventure

I watched a book launch video discussion from The Poisoned Pen Bookstore featuring Carl Hiassen as interviewed by author John Sanford. The topic was Hiassen's latest book, Squeeze Me. The two men go way back, and it was a very interesting discussion. You can find that FB video here. One... Continue reading

Experiment: The Decision Filter

Time is all we have. And yet, we sometimes fritter it away doing things that make no positive difference (or a negative difference). Some of this is okay. Too much frittering, I propose, will suck the life our of our lives. I want more life, fewer regrets. This happens one... Continue reading

Hey all, Starting tomorrow, I'll be chronicling my efforts to catch the mouse, or mice, that are getting into our house at night. Although we take excellent care of our 120-year-old brick cottage, we cannot fill every gap, crack and hole that mice might use to get in. So they... Continue reading

Mini-Misadventures: Running Amok

I used the phrase running amok this morning to describe sprouting sweet potatoes that are vining all over my dining table. If I don't do something with them - kill or plant - the vines might just take over the kitchen. Then I wondered...where does running amok come from? Who... Continue reading

Four Degrees of Separation

Have you watched the 1993 movie Six Degrees of Separation? It's a brilliant film that explores the notion that we are all connected by six or fewer human links. It features wonderful performances by Will Smith, Stockard Channing, and Donald Sutherland and is set in New York City. It's funny,... Continue reading

Lavender Sales are Soaring. Real placebo effect?

We the people are buying a lot of lavender right now (according to this story on CNN). I've not bought lavender and am now wondering if something is seriously wrong with me. Because I love lavender.

You Are Amazing Even You're Off Course Today

I thought I would end the week on a high note and with a call for self-forgiveness as a vehicle for refocusing on generating the life and work you desire. You are amazing. I know this! If you and I enjoyed a chat over foaming lattes, I am sure that... Continue reading
