I have three magnificent magnets on my fridge…they are brilliant….

This was a hard work week for me.  Not only was I busy with some complex things at work, I was watching a nasty storm brew in the Gulf of Mexico, and as much I was telling myself and others that I wasn’t worried about it….

Today I remembered something that I think I knew before, but it still felt new this morning. The first rule of improv is “yes”, followed by “and”. You don’t have to like what you’ve been tossed, and it might not be how you would have scripted the scene, but to keep the improv going you accept the toss. I think there’s a lesson here…

I’m officially overwhelmed and heartbroken at the state of affairs in our country right now.  When I look at social/”mainstream” media I have the distinct feeling that I’m standing in the middle of a huge “shouting match”. We need some new listening skills.

I’ve been asking why for most of my life. Recently, I’ve been studying temperaments and enneagrams to help better understand myself and others.

I have an enemy, and that enemy has been kicking my butt recently….and it’s not the enemy you might be thinking of.

Patience isn’t my strong suit. Last night I decided I can’t live in the “waiting room” any longer.

When I was younger, I thought I knew what success was. With age has come some wisdom, and a new realization that the “success” I’m looking for has a completely different description.

It hadn’t really dawned on me that we’re starting a new decade… then it did.

If I were to define my life by how close to my expectations my reality is, then I might define my life as a “mess”…..
