Well Being

AND THEY WILL SAY

March 8, 2010

My sent emails today started at 5:21 AM and have just been cut off at 10:33 PM. That’s OK, because I knew this busy beast of a day was coming. When we agree with ourselves that it’s time to grow, it’s important to accept all that comes with it. It wouldn’t make sense for everything [...]

GOOD IS UH, GOOD

February 24, 2010

2010 is shaping up to have a creative/musical focus for me, and It’s got me pumped. Last night we were guests of the Ani Difranco crew at her show in Kent, OH. I worked most of a day in Chicago, so to fly back for that was the typical interesting contrast. I think it’s easier [...]

CHURCH BUILDING

January 19, 2010

When I was a kid I woke up early some Sunday morning and all I found on TV was a religious evangelist. I recognize this douchebag now in retrospect as being either Ernest Angely or Jim Baker, though it’s irrelevant. What is important is that it only took about 10 minutes of their fire and [...]

FAST MOVING TRAIN

January 12, 2010

Life is moving pretty quickly, and I’m cool with that as long as it’s mutually satisfying for myself and others. Well, I’ll settle for it being satisfying for myself, as I have no control over your happiness or perception of what satisfying means. The goal is happy people, but I’ll settle for Happy Me, knowing [...]

GIVE ME HAPPY MOFO

January 5, 2010

I tend to agree with all of the personal development and spiritual gurus I’ve consulted in the recent years: Merely taking action for action’s sake is a complete waste of time. The trouble is, so much of our culture operates on the myth that success is only achieved through hiking up your boot straps, hard [...]

FEELS KINDA BIG?

January 4, 2010

As the New Year approached I made plenty of mental notes. Last year (2009) ended up being the sort of arrival point I had hoped for, and in some ways it far exceeded anything I had planned. That of course wasn’t without its struggles, reroutes, or reevaluations. Far too many events went down in 2009 [...]

ABE FROMAN, SAUSAGE KING

December 3, 2009

This week I feel like the Sausage King of Chicago, so you can interpret that however you wish. I had a full day of travel yesterday, waking up at 4a CST, a busy day of work and client calls, and then a quick bite when one of my favorite coworkers. My day lasted from about [...]

OVER THE HANDLEBARS

November 3, 2009

It’s interesting how we always seem to be running in opposite directions, barking out our recent conquests in an effort to catch up. It’s pretty funny. We run into rooms or pass in the office, talking fast about nothing. Is life really moving this fast at the moment? It seems like everyone I know has [...]

BREATHING, GLOWING

October 8, 2009

Running the trail for the 3rd consecutive morning, I’ve started to notice how damn happy the people are who are out there with me. There really aren’t many of us, but everyone has a pretty frisky grin on their grill. There are old ladies looking for birds, a few couples, and a few other joggers [...]

SLOW DOWN TO SPEED UP

October 5, 2009

The raking has begun, and every year when the air gets crispy I get some longing to shake things up a  bit. There are no shortage of undertakings at the present moment. Everything is moving faster than ever before.
Work travel actually becomes a true pleasure this time of year. On Thursday evening I had the [...]
