Dance is My Happy Place!
Happy Friday! This is a pic of me after practicing dance for one hour. You can't tell, but I'm actually "dead" in this pic. (Sore neck muscles, sore thighs, arms can barely move. Hot and dying under my sweatshirt designed to make my dance video slightly "cooler.")...
The Dignity of Solving Your Own Problem
In 2019, my word for the year was "dignity." I let that word seep into my being... and let it become the foundation of all areas of my life. For example, I don't aim to have a "retirement fund" -- I work to have a "dignity fund." That language inspires me. When you...
“Burn the Village in Order to Save It?” Umm…No.
As people start to realize the "cure" is worse than the problem...they will stop allowing the cure to ruin their life. There's a phrase, "burning the village in order to save it." I saw this phrase while reading Jim Collins' book: How the Mighty Fall: And Why Some...
Back from a 2-Week Travel!
It's good to be back in Colorado! I did a road trip to Utah, stayed there for two weeks... And didn't see a single sick or dying person. I saw a lot of people walking their dogs, drawing on the sidewalks with chalk, and living life. Dan flew to Utah for a weekend to...
What’s Your New Vision?
Everyone’s having their own unique “reaction” to corona. At first I was mad…because people couldn’t see the big picture of what was going on. (Story of my life.) But then I decided, “Being mad isn’t helping ME.” So I let it go. Then I was sad…because ignorance is...
When you’re half asleep, you assume all kinds of crazy sh#it to be true (Utah Earthquake!)
This morning there was an earthquake in Utah! We felt it. I was deep in sleep, then the bed started shaking...the whole house shook for about 20 seconds! "WTF?" In a half slumber, I couldn't process what was happening. I wondered if it was the washing machine going...
True Colors Showing Themselves! (Coronavirus Rant)
I count can on one, maybe two hands, the number of business owners who have created unique, helpful content during this corona nonsense. All of the helpful ones are saying things like this: "Don't cave into fear." "It will be all right." "Get back to work." All the...
Rolling My Eyes at Coronavirus BS!
Happy Friday Anti-Marketer!!! As I get ready to prepare for a 2-week travel to Utah (my "roughly yearly" tradition), I checkmark all my essentials. As usual, I will stock up on: - Pure clean water - Tons of green vegetables, pasture raised eggs, and healthy meats -...
Positive Habit Formation!
As I adjust to my "sort of" daily email schedule for 30 days -- I'm reminded of how habitual of a creature I am. When I've created a habit, almost nothing can break it. The hard part is starting a new positive habit, or breaking a bad habit. It takes a huge amount of...
Extraordinary Self-Care
A lot of the world's problems could be solved if people took better care of themselves. When you start looking to others to take care of you...you're f#cked. Nobody can do your workouts for you. Nobody can eat a proper diet for you. Nobody can get sufficient sleep for...
