Walking the Hood
Hello October and I’ve been waiting for you all year. You could surmise that this year, I flipped the script on how I want to live my life, even though I felt it shift last year. I was outdoors minimally this summer with just three plants in pots that required watering. Last summer showed me…

Try it Out
I’ve been listening to a book by Jon Staff, “Getting Away’-75 Everyday Practices for Finding Balance in Our Always On World.” I’m pleased that many of his recommendations have already been implemented in my life, but there’s one thing in particular I’ve been pondering. Going analog. I use my phone to make phone calls for…

Call Me Ma’am
I watched a movie that began by the woman kicking her husband out of the house for having an affair with a woman 20 years younger. In one scene she was sitting outdoors at a coffee house, surrounded by people, but no one even noticed her. She said. “Women over 40 are invisible”, and I…

The Best Part
I recently published The Seeds of Success, by Og Mandino and yes, it was a little odd to post that here, but there is a method to my madness. When I first learned someone had purchased my previous domain name, Letitgocoach, and pointed it to a porn site, I was angry, but mainly at myself…

Move the Bed
I bought a new laptop in January and finally figured out how to stop this annoying popup from appearing every time the laptop powered on. It wasn’t a matter of not knowing how, but taking the time to sit with it long enough to figure it out. A lot of life is like that. Over…

The Seeds of Success by Og Mandino

The Kitchen Table
On Sunday’s I spread out and don’t worry about the mess. Sitting at the kitchen table I snapped a photo for you and to some it may look cluttered, but to me it tells the story of how I’m living my life. My home is being used as storage for this kitchen table. One day,…

That One Thing
You reach a certain age and realize you’ve lived more years than you probably have left, so I’ve been pondering topics such as, purpose, passion, meaningful work and fulfilling relationships, while continually seeking God with, ‘what’s next?’ The other night I sat down and listened to a workshop recording with Joshua Becker and took some…

Slowly Fading Away
To the beautiful soul who has lost their spark. To the soul whose get up and go, has went and truly gone. This is for you. This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day. You didn’t sign up for that. Remember when you used to laugh, sing…

Moments Like These
I’ve been invited to join a church, so I went to a meeting to listen to the vision of the church and the direction they’re headed in. I haven’t been to a meeting like this in 20 years, but enjoyed it and we’ll see where it leads. Like the meme we’ve talked about says, I’ve…
