Sunrise run while still at Disney Institute (pre-2014). It’s a Magical time in every city or campus. Why? Solitude. Because few are out before/at sunrise. University of Iowa.

Pausing “quotes” today.

Why?

To return to a familiar place.

Writing one or two sentences at a time. Sentences that tell a short story or reveal a helpful insight.

Why?

A state change for starters.

Secondly, feeling nostalgic.

Finally, to see if i still recall how i traditionally write blog posts.

Write your eulogy

iPhone personal screen saver
This post publishes, along with this photo, six months after the fact. Writing this post minutes after Zelenskyy’s address/plea to US Congress. Note the CNN notification on phone screen.

What would President Zelenskyy write if he wrote his own eulogy today?

Tagline importance

mid life celebration book
The paradox of mid life crisis.

How you think drives how you act.

Some think boldly yet never launch.

We hear their boldness.

But we see their cowardice.

They have conflicting, competing thinking.

In the end, their constant internal, private narrative lets fear consistently win.

This used to be me.

How we thinketh drives how we acteth.

Tagline importance?

.think .differently

Todays thread is inspired by a recent business conversation with a fellow entrepreneur.

Merry Christmas 2021

nightstand Christmas tree
Christmas…office decorations. Yesterday.

Merry Christmas 2021.

Simultaneously, happy present May 3 (2022) moment.

Remember Christmas morning 2021?

i remember it like it’s now

Now.
Writing/blogging mid-morning while the Christmas quiche bakes. Should be joined soon by a College Junior.

Christmas 2021…remember?

i remember it like it’s now because the last two pics are “live” photos. Taken “now”.

Day 5 of not blogging first thing every day. Envisioning this being a gift to family.

Cut yourself some?

Slack logo
slack is on a mission to replace email at work. This is my summary, not slack’s. The logic is sound. The scale will require time.

Cut yourself some slack?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Being prepared is your responsibility.

Every wakeup call, no matter the degree, is your opportunity to pay attention and put structure and process in place to be more prepared the next time something completely unexpected happens.

Obviously, we can’t plan for everything.

Or can we?
