    May 17, 2022…I walked through a new door

    May 19, 2022 / 0 Comments

    But this time, I'm starting off by owning my strengths and talents. I'm not trying to make myself a blank slate to be filled in by someone else; I'm bringing what I've learned and developed up to this point, and I'm setting expectations for myself and those around me. I'm not creating more content in an effort to find the proverbial golden ticket. Instead, I'm trusting that what I've already created is valuable and just needs to be tightened up and strategically populated out into the world by experts who do that work day in and day out.

    2021: My year in review

    December 27, 2021 / 2 Comments

    n other ways, COVID has opened up the world because there's been different time to explore people and things online. I've enjoyed developing new relationships with people who are invested moving through the world like I am, and I've rekindled some very old friendships with regularly scheduled zoom calls. *Because of that, I think some of what is dragging on me is that I'm realizing that some of the friendships I thought were rock solid have just not held up very well these last couple of years. People who were once important to me have not felt very supportive of the path I am pursuing. This isn't something that I've…

    The wisdom in his eyes

    Of all the things I'm grateful for, and that list is lengthy!, the fact that I was so distraught I never made a concrete decision about the arrival of this little unplanned person ranks right up there. That decision was made for me when Quinn arrived and there was no alternative plan in place.

    The disciplined pursuit of less but better

    November 5, 2021 / 0 Comments

    What I realized in writing this email was that while I love Personal Systems Disruption work and feel like it's a true calling, at this point in time, it's not serving my larger purpose. It's not leading to invited speaking gigs or the opportunity to write more content. Then I remembered Essentialism. McKeown paraphrases Jim Collins' famous idea: "Success becomes a catalyst for failure because it leads to...the undisciplined pursuit of more. The antidote is the disciplined pursuit of less but better." He says you must explore, eliminate and build a platform for execution.

    Have you ever gotten a foreshadowing of a life-changing moment? I'm pretty sure that's what's happening, and I'm marking it here because it's easy to think I'll remember how I felt on this end.
