Smiling…
I can only.
10-4-25 – Meant
15:14 Vacaville. Typing on the floor, Nurse readying for her night with the girls. All I can feel is gratitude and amazement in the realization that I have everything I need. Mindful, moment I’m in, all of them… blazing in truth. Stress, now, NONE. I disallow its power and presence, any relevance or application. Drive…
from the book…
Morning with the Nurse. Saturday. Relaxed, in Windsor. Gratitude-wrapped. The morning doesn’t need anything flashy or syllabic. Just what is. Walk to Noto, a latte, shower and laundry. Now typing in bed with Nurse while she reads and looks at photos, scrolls, enjoys her morning deservedly after an extended stretch of Nurse shifts. Realizing that…
Clouds, no rain. I didn’t expect to feel as warm as I did on my route, but I did and it slowed me but still made not that bad of time.
Writing booth. People talking in kitchen. Feel the five miles, but in the best way. Coffee, perfect. The day, talking to me, instructing…. Conversation with the VP building ideas like I never have, receiving feedback that only has me more confident and riled. Should get back to desk, but not before a couple more minutes…
10-2-25
In office. 09:51. Quiet. Meeting with VP at 11:00. Running today without any excuses or delays, or no-show from me on pavement. Running today, no doubt. 5k to 5 miles, somewhere in there. Going slow. Distance is the goal so just telling myself, “FIVE MILES, you’re doing five miles.” 10:44, meeting in a bit, no…
Inventory today so far…
Two Story posts (IG), post to #professormikey blog, and BDX I think. Yes, I did the latter. BDX post taken from IG Story. Need to keep a tighter touch on inventory. The VP a few meetings ago stressed inventory, actual items enumerated to present and speak on piece by piece at a meeting soon. Beats,…
Prepared for tomorrow’s meeting with VP but need to organize.
No more new docs or journals or paper tables like a legal pad or something started. Done. I have all I need. I know there are few silver bullets in existence, if any, but I’m thinking in terms of them. How to boost conversation rates, how to make Reps stronger, how to propel them and…
9-30-25
Booked event for sales team, for next month. Now back to scribbling ideas on Key Behaviors Project, and the ‘Assessment Hub’, as I call it. Peaceful day, listening to a LoFi playlist meant for studying, and focus. It called for rain, but now…. Wanting another latte, with the disappointment of no rain. Might treat the…
notes
“So alive and electric and fearless today, babe…” I just wrote the Nurse. And I am. Can’t hold it in place, can’t bottle it. Maybe it’s the coffee, maybe it’s simply being here, present, anchored in this shifting routine I’ve carved out inside ’50—what we call this building. 1:36 PM. So quiet it feels staged,…
Afternoon scribbles.
Mindful… Grateful…….. PEACE.
In office a little late but I’m catching up. Meetings all day.
Singularizing, simplifying. Thinking of my brother Chris’ stories and explanations of how he built his business. The cowering space, the cafe, and other. I see what I’m doing wrong. Or maybe not wrong, but what I could improve. Again, simplifying. Lunch comes and goes, and I’m standing at the desk with two of my three…
