Aren’t you glad to be alive?, mind

Am i glad to be alive?

Not only glad, but blown away.

The odds of existing in the Cosmos are literally infinite.

Yet here we are.

And then to have the audacity to dream up self-indulgent stuff like book titles…

“What i learned about life from over 500 nights in our Nation’s 10th most popular (Glacier) National Park.”

Why blog prolifically?

hotel messaging
Write five daily, differently-themed blog posts for 15 years without missing a single day. “Consider it done!“

Prolific blogging.

Explaining why is easy.

Explaining how is challenging.

Read a chapter per day

Read a chapter per day.

Video record it too.

Perhaps audio record as a bonus.

Note: What? The book, Mid Life Celebration. Just a crazy idea.

Email signature 2014

Mid Life Celebration, business card
Old photo from 2008: First business card, 2008. Originally, there were four categories (pictured here). Then a blinding flash of the obvious: The fifth category is the large box holding the four smaller boxes.
Old photo from 2014: Love seeing this 2013-version of my personal-business email signature.

Note: Today’s posts are inspired by long-awaited photo uploading from old external hard drives.

First, just want to acknowledge today’s posts are publishing August 1, 2025. This is a long way from the December (cold) temps we are experiencing now as i write these posts.

Live like you mean it. Life is not a dress rehearsal. The book is generous, gentle, direct, and compellingly hopeful –https://amzn.to/1b7p6id Think deeper, smile more, feel grateful everyday. www.MidLifeCelebration.com

Book and keynote notes, mind

Recently uploaded a ton of photos from old-school digital storage blocks. Photo: Me onstage during keynote.

My attempt to put the audience at ease using ‘Jungle Cruise humor’. “Security wanted me to ask if anyone here lost a big wad of cash with a rubber band around it.” Inevitably multiple people will raise their hand. Then i pull out a large rubber band from my pocket. And announce, “They found your rubber band.”

Go The Extra Inch might be a Keynote title that i always use.

Over-Focus might be the best book title.

Go The Extra Inch might be the best subtitle for the book title, Over-Focus.
