After a trip to the coffee spot by the Green the other week, I turned left and left on a random street, then writer back in chair. Cup smoldering on desk, taste still bitter but beautiful and seductive nudge. Don’t want to be stuck in thought so I won’t let SELF stop typing, who gives…

morning-ing journaling
8:57 AM Windsor…. Been a while since I’ve written in this spot on a Saturday. Emma and Henry up, Jack here later, much later. Emma with a game, and the day is structured. Latte singing to me. Didn’t work last night as desired, and I’m more than at peace with it. Wanted all the time…
Smelling the RAIN
Ops meeting at 10. Back from coffee and taking one of the vehicles in, all with Nurse. In a mode and mood of attainment today. In any and all prospects and regards, anything I can think of. Not in office, WFH for day, may go into office later. Writing more on this Sales Training Story…….

1:38 PM. Vacaville. Got back from run a bit ago. Wanted 5 or more but the heat stopped me. Surprised I did what I did after brunch not long before in Winters, followed by sparkling wine and a couple wines tasted at Turkovich. Nurse and her friend now by the pool, me stealing a couple…
Thought for
Thursday.
Back from lunch, and thinking about hearing NO in the Field, at the door. As a new Rep.
Here’s where I need to empathize of course, and also urge them to bring themselves to a place of laughing at it, to some degree. Seeing it as an invite to learn, grow, try something new. Not just take the easy way out and surrender, stop canvassing. In total trainer mode today, I thought walking…
Running out of battery, and again forgot my bloody charger at home. So.. some words before lunch.
Taking a breath, a pause and collecting SELF. Listening to the activity of the office. Every voice I hear is cheerful, relaxed even when in the pulse of productivity. Notes for next week’s session.. Taking some of my own instruction and carving it into my habits and mood, everything about me this Thursday. Clear, CONFIDENT,…
In office. Finally. Thinking in terms of modules, education. In EVERYTHING.
10:00 Coffee #1… module #1. Patience. Keep movement consistent, but be patient. Be mindful of the process. No time to settle into the day, I just start writing it. Reaching out to B, trying to set up a meeting or quick call later. Growth versus Acquisition in the MDU space. Office quiet, just as the…
journal
Meeting going over by 30, so 90 mins total. Too hot outside to run. SHIT. Should have hit the pavement early. But… no excuses. Own the reality. 12:08 Lunch done. Landscapers doing their landscaper things with loud blades and engines, propellers and what be so no power nap. Yes I was thinking of taking one…

Soon. All I’m going to say.
Found a new attitude and perspective, early this morning after an odd dream I can’t remember now but I felt uncomfortable and hesitant not so much scared to fall back into any peculiar or startling image-scape. NEWNESS, like the Students at SRJC and I used to talk about with Kerouac’s Road. Writer, new experiences…. The…
Emma behind me having conversations with herself and imaginary characters over the button pushing and sounds of a toy cash register.
I smile and laugh a little to myself, she doesn’t hear me. Just continues with her business and play. “What kind of business are you running, Mama?” “Grocery market.” The simplicity and firmness of her answer makes me smile again. So into character, so dedicated and exploratory with her language. Finish the latte, planning day…
