Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Special note to self (and maybe the most important one ever):
Rehearsal is over. No more practice.
Start living.
The only thing more contagious than enthusiasm is the lack of it.
Feed yourself first.
Be the fire!

Dear Boomers, when we aren’t living each day like we mean it, we’re doing this:
Waiting to die
It’s a harsh reality.
Think of it this way if you need a second opinion:
She who’s not busy being born, is busy dying.
Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Live like you mean it.
You’ll feel better. About everything. Not all at once.
But slowly and steadily.
Go.
Today, or tomorrow.
PS. And trust your gut (see photo).

What’s our biggest promise to ourselves that we’re still sitting on?
Maybe this will encourage you.
Maybe it will scare you.
Maybe it will turn you away right now…
So sure I would never write the story I promised to write 30 years prior, I began anyway on April Fool’s day 2009.
It was to last 100 days.
That was 1,466 days ago.
An unassuming streak began.
Quietly.
Innocently.
Reverently.
Yesterday – April 5, 2013 – the streak ended at 1,464 consecutive days.
So exhausted but so sure once home from a week long trip, that I’d sneak in time from Family to write the five daily blogs.
Instead, like the line from Harry Chapin’s song, “Can you teach me to throw, I said not today, I got a lot to do…”
Chapin asked me to play his favorite card game.
It was 10pm. The game is complex. I’m not very good.
I hadn’t seen him in 100 hours.
We played. For 40 minutes.
Then we went to bed.
The unheralded (and yet astonishing) streak came to an end.
If you’ve made it this far, may today be a day like you haven’t had in a long time.
A day in which you find yourself yearning – more than you can ever recall – to begin anew.
To brush off that long ago abandoned dream of yours, and cuddle it gently, and whisper, “I’ve missed you. Will you forgive me? Can we try this one more time, together?”
It nourishes our soul and focuses our life.

If we don’t change anything, nothing will change. Wow. Profound. Is this true? Mostly.
And perhaps, insidiously tricky.
There’s a paradox here most of us are missing.
Suppose we don’t change, could this change influence others?
Refusing to change because of peer pressure, social norms, religious or political views could in fact, change everything.
…
Today’s quick thought about our physical health is a click away, here.
Perhaps the most intriguing question that no one knows the answer to:
What are the three most magnificent days in our life?
The answers are so powerful, they blow the roof off of mediocrity and regretful living.
Will share them some day, in case you’re not sure you already know.
