Eight days a week
I wonder about the viability of a project that claims it’ll be daily. Don’t I need a cheat day? Hells bells, don’t I deserve a damn cheat day?!
Wait.
cheatday?
On many diets, theres a built in day or meal that the diet gets backburnered. A day off.
News flash-if whatever you are attempting NEEDS a cheat day, are you SURE you wanna be doing it anyway?
This project isn’t...
New years eve. Eve.
Yeah, imabe working on a damn list.
And imbe sharing it. In the interest of full transparency, I found an old list of resolutions recently, even posted it on the interwebs. I like the idea of sharing it, hoping some of you will call me out when you see me falling back into my old backsliding ways. Like a...
Known unknowns & unknown unknowns
About your competitors;
What if-
They were actually better than you gave them credit?
What if-
the footprint they leave is a false trail?
What if-
They were actually better than you?
Whatiftheydidntsuck?
Would you just sour face stomp away, lock your doors, turn off the lights, and quit?
I doubt it. I think you’d tighten your belt, pull up your knickers, find a seedy dojo, and you’d...
Testify, brother, testify!
Stumbled across some (relatively) unsolicited testimonials last night. Several dozen, written by clients about how damn spiffy we are. I had this grandiose plan to make some wrapping paper,a shameless ripoff of royal lyme’s packaging, since backburnered for another method.
Rereading the words of so many friends who were riffing so genuinely about us totally warmed my...
A little premature length of trust365
Premature? Yeah.
#couldnotwait
I had planned to go live with this project, this audacious thingy I’m calling trust365, on jan01. Was gonna rough out a full editorial calendar, write the first 20+posts, and start stepping up our battle against crapassery.
That’s out the window- I cant ration this out. There’s a damn bee in my bonnet and it’s coming out,stat.
Damn...
#trust30 becomes #trust365.
This summer I took part of a writing exercise called trust30 that really inspired me. There was a daily prompt, usually around the decent hour of eight am, with a topic I could riff about for a paragraph or two, but some were tweets. I liked the shortness, and also the regularity. Dunno what my actual completion rate was, but I’d give myself a solid b plus.

Quickie, not quiche
A rushed one for ya, on christmas eve. I’ve been cyphering upon the diff between serendipity and dumb luck. The diff between predestination and coincidence. Many times this season things just ’ aligned’ to the greater good.

People, often randomly and out of the blue, just walked in. into my path, and life. Nudging me forward. There are no...
Open letter to the guy who made my wife cry. At...
Sir,
First,a confession. I’ve made my wife cry, too. More times than care to admit. More recently than I care to admit. Same goes for my mother, daughter, close friends, and colleagues. So I’m not judging you.
We are both equally qualified to make great women cry.
I’m not proud of that fact,i just wanna be perfectly honest.
Speaking of honest, the offenses you accuse my wife of...
Why I love you.
That thing you do? The reason you get out of bed every damn day. That fire inside you to get there early, be the best,make a diff, change the world, alienate your haters, help your tribe achieve, alleviate pain, and best of all understand that you can’t do it alone.
Thats what I love about you. Your recognition that tribes, ideally OUR tribe, matter. And by reading this, you’ve already...
