  Positive Spin   Growth (2)

  “Imagine if you could do anything …” posits the trailer for the movie “The Covenant.”  Yeah, just imagine that–how far back should I go?  First, I’d give myself a better genetic makeup with more social skills and less I.Q.,  instead of being the emotional equivalent of the knuckle dragging missing link. 
  I’d pick a pair o’ [...]

  A Tribute to Optimism (and Fall)   Growth (3)

  Fall is starting to truly arrive here on the east coast - you can feel that crisp chill in the mornings, and I love the sunrises this time of year (they come just about as I’m about to get on the treadmill in the morning).  It’s the most invigorating season for me, and always brings [...]

  Wrestling with shyness, revisited   Growth (1)

  A while back, I shared my issues with my shyness. Someone asked me how I cope with my shyness, and I gave a very weak answer because I really didn’t know how to explain.
  In catching up with my feeds over the wekeend, I found a post that just resonated with me. He talks about being [...]

  Six hours for a few minutes   Uncategorized (1)

  The posting by Steve Garfield today at Off on a Tangent quotes from a Newsweek article that states the work behind the few minutes of ze frank’s show takes SIX hours to produce daily. I can believe it. Although I admit, in the viewing that I had done before I started doing my own podcast (and [...]

  Action vs. inspiration   Growth (1)

  “We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.”- Frank Tibolt
  I’ve been wrestling with issues of motivation for about a month now. The list of projects is growing to an unhealthy level, and I’m just not in the mood to do any of [...]

  PodCamp Boston - One Stop Update   Growth (1)

  The Hitchhiker  side of me took an interesting internet trail turn today. I had set up a Technorati search for PodCamp Boston and loaded it to my Bloglines account to keep track of what was being said before the conference, during, and it is quite active now post-conference. One of the more interesting links today that came through [...]

  A change of approach to motivating   Growth (1)

  I’ve been struggling with motivation issues for nearly a month now. Normally, I set up a to-do list and giggle with great glee as the list gets shorter and shorter. I like shrinking to-do lists, but for some reason that simple joy wasn’t enough to keep me moving.
  Yesterday, it briefly occured to me that perhaps [...]

  Heat of Summer Blog Carnival Winners!   Growth (1)

  I just received a reminder that I was remiss in publishing the winners of the Heat of Summer Blog Carnival Contest. My apologies to those affected by this oversight, and to the winners, who submitted wonderful entries for the contest.
  So without further ado … (drum roll … … … …)
  For your edification, here are [...]

  Voice: A Search For Focus   Growth (3)

  My interpretation of Voice: The spirit which underlies our words. It is the thumbprint of our soul. It is the essence of our being. It is who we are.
  I find myself looking down a fork in the road. One path leads to a more focused voice. The other, my present day buckshot approach. Some folks [...]

  Allowing Our Outcomes   Growth (5)

  Oh dear . . . my last post to 100 Bloggers was this past spring.  Mea Culpa!  I’m glad to be back among this wonderful group.
  While we’re waiting for the rain to stop so hubby can grill out our ribeyes on this Labor Day, I’m going to write down one of my big “ah-hah” moments [...]

  The lines simply blur!   Growth (0)

  I’m still on this branding warpath, and it’s become an interesting project. I’m finding that as I’m exploring who I am and want to become on a professional level, I’m really relocating a lot of the person who got lost along the way.
  Slowly, it’s almost become a process of blending my professional and personal activities [...]

  Life Is:   Growth (0)

  Life is funny sometimes.
  Perception is everything.
   
  I recently had the opportunity to overreact to something,
  and by Gawd I did a fine
  Job. I cried, I made myself sick, I well you get the idea..
  The problem was that I lost my sense of humor.
  Completely.
  Absolutely.
  Gone, nada zip..
  Why?
  A variety of reasons, medication, pain, and being exhausted from pain.
  No. I am [...]
