This Is The Long Road
Sitting still can be one of the most difficult things for us to do. Have you ever had restless-leg syndrome? Have you ever not moved and fidgeted your leg while you were experiencing it? I didn’t think so. The impulse we have is to move your leg. It’s almost as if it’s contagious and your […]

Break Through Part-2 Fear: No More
Being led and controlled by fear isn’t fun. It’s not productive. It’s not sustainable. I’ll admit that I’ve been able to get by alright the f=past few years. I know that there are areas that I could improve in my life and they are many. Being controlled by fear is a weakness. For me, there […]

Break Through Part 1
I’ve been feeling slightly off for a little while. Kind of like when you’ve been really sick with a bad flu and all the symptoms have finally relinquished their hold on your body…but something is still kind of off. That’s where I’m at, but psychologically. [Your shrink has entered the chat] I have always been […]

Easier Said Than Done
Being honest sounds easier than it really is. What comes more natural than just being honest how you think and feel. Honest is the best policy, after all. When I am honest, most of the time, it doesn’t feel right. Or I don’t feel good about it. Something just feels off. If I was too […]

The Solution
Yesterday I introduced you to my nemesis, conflict. We don’t get along. Frankly, conflict is more like a bully to me than a nemesis. I just don’t do well when conflict shows up. My palms get sweaty, I lose my words, I get anxious. It’s not a good situation for your boy. The sad and […]

An Aversion to Conflict-Confronted
I have a massive aversion to conflict and avoid confrontation like it’s my job. I don’t want to be like that anymore, here is what I’m doing about it. I’ve been searching for the right topic to base a series on my blog. I finally stumbled across it while I was writing my journal this […]

A Rant and a Plan
I have decided that I’m doing both types of writing. Blogging here and my morning practice. I am a writer after all. What kind of writer would I be if I didn’t make the time to do the type of writing I WANT to do. Not only do I want to do this kind of […]

One Step Forward, One Step Backward
I began this blog through sheer force of will. I had time enough in the day to sit down and write in the morning. Occupying roughly the first 60minutes of my day. Rather than continue my [at the time] current practice of writing out 3 pages in my personal journal, I decided to devote that […]

Write by Hand
Call me old fashioned, but I miss analog writing. The good old pen and paper, with thoughts flowing (hopefully) freely through my arm right onto the empty lines. It was such a joy accomplishing so much (3 pages!) by the time I am really beginning to tackle the day and the house starts waking up. […]

Focus on Your Wins
Grind through. I didn’t sleep very well last night. I woke up before my baby woke up crying at 3:20am and couldn’t get to sleep until close to 4am. This is less than ideal. I was hoping to have woken up beating my 6am alarm. Instead, I hit snooze and was woken up again 5 […]
