This is probably a little gross to some of you, since it's slugs after all, but whatever. Nothing is ordinary, remember? A lot of mornings when I walk I see slugs taking interesting postures. Postures that I never associated with slugs. Postures that look a lot like curiosity... ... bashfulness... painful yoga poses... ...and this … Continue reading May 26, 2016 – Do Slugs Stand Up?

May 24, 2016 – Going 3D
On Saturday Rob Bell talked about this concept of “ikigai” - the Japanese word for what gets you out of bed in the morning. That thing that you’re passionate about and energizes you enough to take action. For him it’s the art of the sermon. It’s making things. Books, talks, podcasts, films, etc. He said … Continue reading May 24, 2016 – Going 3D

I have a hard time looking up when I walk. I like to look at the ground. Over the years I’ve been told that I should look up more. By multiple people. It’s not good for my physiologically (my head slumping down puts me in a mentally depressive state I guess?) or psychologically (again with … Continue reading May 16, 2016
May 13, 2016 – Five for Friday
What I’m watching - The Glades. It’s not exactly good, per se, but it is easy watching in one of my favorite genres. The writing is laughable sometimes and the directing is a little odd at others, but I still find myself watching it. It’s my current vice to avoid doing the stuff I theoretically … Continue reading May 13, 2016 – Five for Friday
May 11, 2016 – The Real Problem
I’m annoyed, people. Grumpy and annoyed and in a no good, terrible, very bad mood. I might be annoyed at my hubs because I want him to be more considerate of me. And I might be annoyed because I’ve dug myself into a do-all-the-things-that-put-me-in-a-bad-mood funk. The time I normally spend exercising is being dedicated to … Continue reading May 11, 2016 – The Real Problem
May 9, 2016 Knowledge is power
Sometimes people are rude. It’s a little odd how much one person’s semi-rude comment can affect me. It sits in my mind, being repeated continuously. I listen to it from different perspectives, trying to understand why they would say that. Did they just think it was no big deal? Were they trying to be funny? … Continue reading May 9, 2016 Knowledge is power
May 6, 2016 Five for Friday
Yesterday would’ve been a full bottle day if only I drank wine. The day started with one of my children losing their mind - to a degree I’ve not yet had the privilege to witness. So much so that the majority of my morning was spent trying to usher a return of sanity I know that … Continue reading May 6, 2016 Five for Friday
May 4 2016 – Coaching and pitches (not that kind)
Tonight I find myself writing about StrengthsFinder again - trying to get an introductory plug/offer put together. A friend told me that she had a lot of success getting coaching clients by posting a “5 free offer” on a Facebook group. (it’s called that cause you offer five free whatever’s. Also I made it up.) … Continue reading May 4 2016 – Coaching and pitches (not that kind)
May 3, 2016 – Skanky A’s
Removing the habit part of my writing habit is proving difficult. It was hard to wake up every morning at 5:00, but the words would usually come. Even when I couldn’t really share them. It’s nice to sleep another ninety minutes - actually, it’s more than nice. It makes the schedule doable. But it makes … Continue reading May 3, 2016 – Skanky A’s
May 2, 2016 – Exiting the game
I’ve always been a fan superhero stories. Not so much the traditional radioactive spider bites and secretly born on another planet ones, though. I’m more interested in the stories where people are typical, but they’re good at something. And they know it. They’re good at something and they work to develop it until they’re pretty … Continue reading May 2, 2016 – Exiting the game
