It’s 12:30am. I’m going to be up before 7am to help get Bella out the door so she can be at the office early to begin preparations. As I start to drift off and dream about my work problems and, consequently, potential solutions, the images were accompanied by Aretha Franklin’s rendition of Ben. E. King’s […]

30-day challenge: 02/2013
La Problema: I’m a stat checker. I’ve always been that way as a sport’s fan but it got worse at Livemercial when checking analytics and rankings. I’m so afraid of being disconnected that on bad days I’ll check analytics, indexing and rankings 6 times an hour. It’s also usually a sign that my life is […]
What is the best blue cheese cheeseburger in Valpo? In #nwindiana? Anywhere?
So my banker, Kevin Gould, & I have been looking for a new adventure to start off 2013 – a cleanse the palate, clean the slate, turn the page, start the year off right sort-of-thing. We’ve also been looking for something that’d we’d both love to write about for almost a year. Then it happened […]
Review of Zac Brown Band’s “Uncaged.” – “I hope they find me in my home with my guitar in my hands.”
So when I found out Zac Brown Band’s new album, “Uncaged,” came out, I was sort of had mixed feelings. I mean, I still love the band. I’d have to check but think I still have passwords from Project 01 that were made after ZBB songs. But given that I’m so focused on Project 02 […]
2012 Bucket List & keeping promises to myself
As Project 03 re-teaches me all the things I used to know about commitment, integrity and work ethic, I find myself going back through all the list of things I said I’d do. My bucket list for 2012 as you will. More than getting my career to a point where I can travel and research […]
You Already Bought the Ticket. So Take the Ride.
I had the best day in a long, long time when it came to the case studies for Project 03. Case study #1 phase one should be running this time tomorrow and case study #2 is underway. A beautiful three hour session with a couple inspired, motivated ladies who are looking to do good things […]
The Painbody – Truth #7 from A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
I keep thinking back to the last weekend while I was considering my good friends and their spectrum of emotions. One was bringing a new life into the world. One is on the verge of possibly entering a fight for their life. Others are getting hit with the unforeseen while others are just working their […]
Triggers – Truth #6 from A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
The biggest downside of trying to become conscious of being conscious is that it seems as though the emotional and situational triggers hit harder when you’re just reacting through your day. After I got through the end of the yesterday, I sat back and reflected while reading Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. I was so […]
Presence – Truth #5 from A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
Today was my worst day in my attempts to remain conscious of being conscious. It started slow – making up for the late night working working on future case studies. It rolled along slowly until I got an email as I was walking out the door from the case study who was furious at the […]
Conscious – Truth #4 from A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
As I’ve purged continuously on here in the past year, I’ve been fighting back against my anxiety. It’s a predominant theme in my books of said blues. It’s a recurring battle. And my worst moments are the first ones of the day. Even on my best days my most difficult move of the day is […]
