Notice Your Place And Care And so, we begin by unlearning the urgency. Urgency’s not bad, but if it comes to your senses and holds you, constricts. Well, then… a change is the to-do. By loosening our grip on the idea that productivity equals worth, that exhaustion is a badge, that rest must be earned…
7.04 miles. Had no expectation of that kind of distance, especially after a little nap that I couldn’t stop myself from taking.
Messaged the Nurse and told her I was headed out for a run even though my head wasn’t into it, and…. Surprised myself, I guess. Notes for trip next week, and onboarding Reps for next week and class the following week. Slowing my speed, it’s Friday and many have left office already. Places I’m emailing,…

09:22…. Focused on my Mental Health this morning, and ideas yesterday formed at work, in concern with one of the educators, and my VP. Just messaged VP, and taking a second to SELF. Can start making some calls, soon. Onto something. As in, I found gems. That were always there, but….. Okay, need to calm…
09:22 Surprised how ahead of the day I am, to be honest. Still haven’t made the next coffee. Maybe I should do that now. Meeting pushed to 14:00. Okay, good. Waiting for an idea to catch me. Made my rounds, tended to notes, audited calendar. Too ahead oft the day’s Beat for a writer’s own…

1-15-26 Mid-month, already. In office, in my head, trying to distract myself with work… Staying focused and set here, where I am. The entrepreneur mind is about me, afraid of nothing. Certainly not some imagined failure. Running today, 4 mile goal. Coffee next to me, speaking with me as it wishes. 08:31 Moving slow, deliberate….
These grapes don’t look like ambition.
They look like patience. Old wood, cracked and scarred, holding up something soft and temporary. The vine doesn’t rush. It doesn’t ask if it’s ready. It just keeps doing the work—season after season—until sweetness happens on its own. I like that the fruit grows low, close to the gnarled parts. Not at the flashy tips….
Pic from a few months ago…. Meditation. Calm. LIFE.
The 14th. How… year passing, quickly and quicker as I acknowledge its swiftness.
Working in VV, thinking about going offsite later, but not before I generate some leads for ASBC. It’s a business now, official, because I am materializing such. Not some simple fucking manifesting nonsense, but a real projection of vision. Shaping it into sense and its own scene. Dinner with my brother last night giving this…

Espresso time. Headed downstairs…. The idea of a voice, stemming from telecom, and marketing, the idea of a message being delivered and felt, and a direct or indirect call to action. 13 minutes till meeting. Using it all for this writer and his idea of the morning. Going downstairs and taking a couple pictures of…
Meetings today, and out in the Field prospecting for the MadlySmallBiz idea. Two meetings on calendar already.
Content has to be solely for rev generation and strategic branding building. Thoughts after talking to one of our marketing gals yesterday. She speaking of videos she’s been shooting for one of our departments. Budget is razor thin, so I’m only spending if needed. This morning’s coffee, for the Nurser and I, yes, part of…
Class starting soon. Forcing SELF to relax and be more free in instruction.
Also, to go slower, be more discussion-meant. Thoughts on the drive over, blending more the #professormikey blog and Story with Sonic’s. Connectivity, in the most genuine and heartfelt, REAL of ways. Busy day for the Nurse. She on my mind, and my mind itself and its composition and momentums on this writer’s mind. Everything changes…

1-7-26 Office. 08:08… mood here is elevated. Perfect for me, for a teaching day. Three trainees. Deck queued up, notes on other screen. One thing I’m stressing today is INTERPRETATION. Of what you do. Yes, there’s a job description, and KPI’s, and quota, and all the entailed and expected and demanded. But, how do you…
