Monday December 15th, 2025 09:37 At the desk.  Working on the Report Card project, part of the 30/60/90 for the Sales Teams.  Going into new year, which in my thoughts has already got off the ground, I hold myself to simple markers.  Could be as simple as, “Get up from the chair once today, go…

A day of ME.

That’s what I’m promising. Appropriate precursor for the new year. Finally at the desk after making a second pass at Peet’s.  Just a small coffee.  Now here, meditative.  Not expecting anything.  Just intaking the morning and this room. Building my fortitude, or compiling character in a way I never have.  I can see myself changing. …

Normalizing New and Me

08:49.  Admittedly, not much writing done over the past few days, spanning Thanksgiving, then another Thanksgiving, having company over, then yesterday a much needed day of quiet and zen, some productivity, and SELF-CARE. 2026 Starting yesterday.  And there is a very sharp and specific aim and architecture to it all. Negativity is no longer heard. …

09:20 in office, moving more than just a single mile a minute.  Refusing to let the morning or day or anyone or anything slow me. Four blogs, no…. Sticking to this one and making it work.  Overhead, ZERO. Prepping for a 30-day check-in with a Rep.  Field Sales.  Writing more curriculum as the day stretches…

In office.  Made rounds.  Some rain on the drive.  09:10

Settling in.  Organizing the desktop of the work laptop, a priority.  Has to be done. Today, rewriting much in the Story.  Lunch with the Dev Trainers later, and now… almost forgot… the Sales Trainer Lab project. Promising myself this will be the last project for a while.  Till others begin to produce and prove lucrative….

06:40.  Alarm at quarter to 6, Nurse up needing to be on campus by 07:00.  She wakes urges me to go back to sleep, “Just rest babe,” she says but I refuse.  She calls me stubborn. Am I? I think so.  So… I get dressed and brush and make myself espresso.  She leaves after a…

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…

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…

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…

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…
