There is nothing I need, or even want. The basics – clothes, sustenance, roof, transportation, SETTLED. So… I celebrate what’s present. Finally started the #professormikey workout playlists. Just started, only like 8 tracks downloaded, but it’s something. I’ll test it on today’s run, my third in so many jours. Only 5k today, maybe 3.25 mi…
Decluttering, moving things, mostly photog equipment and journals from one box to another. Simplifying.
Reading one journal, more than quickly – more like skimming the page when I passed it from the right hand to left – and saw “Today, virtually no budget. Coins only.” Interesting. Trying to do something like that this week actually. Well, today for sure, and not trying. No more of that. I decide, I…
WFH. 08:52…. Dominant idea for week, OWN. From the Onus idea and stress throughout my teaching “career”.
Just got back from coffee with Nurse. Talking about the weekend we just had, how we needed it, and while her and I offered thoughts and insights and reflections, I thought about organizing the day, where I start writing. The book, not done in the next 8 days, I can almost assure. So.. stay here…
Where I live.
Where love… Love the freedom, The most Me of ME’s…
Sitting now, taking a second, to me. No typing, just listening.
A “Mindful Moment” as so many on Instagram and other social stages would say. The planes in the distance, little wind, Oliver our dog snoring a bit then having one of those doggy dreams where he barks a little in high octave couples with hastily-tied whimpers. People down the street having a bbq or party,…
Wine. Returning…
Today the Nurse and I heading to Napa. Brunch then a tasting in Carneros area. What do I want from wine, some return? Do I want it as a “side hustle” or something more? Or, a book? Have to finish DECIDED first, I know, but I’m taking notes. I’m doing just what I urged students…
07:59 ::: Home and starting day. Coffee with the Nurse at Peet’s, I believe our first such of the week.
Been making coffee at home, which I nearly wish we would have done this morning, with the wait and the crowd in the shop. Parking before that.. But I’m here, practicing calm. Not much practice needed, I’m simply doing it. Discussion yesterday with a Senior Instructional Designer, about me offering a course at the company. …
The Road…
Forever.

12:12 4 miles written. Now time for a quick lunch. Producing content everywhere and. I tell myself there’s something wrong with that, then see it as a strength. MY Beat – Self Care. No hyphen, both words their own worlds. Unafraid, present and impassioned, newly. Warm on the run, had to get it logged, written,…
Today, thinking…

Space Where Nothing Required
Sit quietly and let the day loosen its grip. Thoughts arrive, nod, and pass. No need to solve anything. Notice your body’s rhythm like a tide, steady, returning. In this small space, you are not chasing or proving. You are simply here, aware, enough, and gently unfolding into the moment. Let quiet carry you without…
