D2Dcon, 2026

Learning, grateful, present. Loving this day, and all.

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…

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.

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,…

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…
