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…

10:32.  In office. Slow, two additional projects already brought to finish.   Cold out, but I’m committed to forcing myself to run. Belief that I can get out, maybe even shock myself today, go further than I thought which I’ve done before.  So, then, why not today? Day moving slow, or that’s how I feel. …

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…

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…
