No doubt, only gratitude. The Now, where I am. I still stop and stumble a bit in my thinking, like – “IS THIS MY LIFE? AM I SUPPOSED TO HAVE THIS?” Why do I question? I am not waiting to feel ready anymore. EVERYTHING, will see heights. My own highway, if you would. I’m not…

CHANGE
Day closing but I’m not slowing. Writing any thought feeling dream fantasy worry or possibility that comes to this writer. Writing everything, literally everything. Thinking of a class of SB, then I’ll acquire that. 36 DAYS…. Consolidating journals. Counted how many active ones I have going and.. no. That has to change. It’s just me…..
After some time away from the desk, I lack energy.
I talk myself back into being ALIVE as I said earlier, with the early morning espresso-lit liveliness by, yes, making espresso. Back from trip to downstairs coffee bar, focused on my energy and writing to write, making sense later. Fasting till, well, some point in evening. 36 days…. Kids arriving tomorrow, can’t wait to see…
8/26/2026
Teaching day. Students have surprised me, in the best way. #coffeezenlove officially in its flight… the aims are high. So, something every day. No time today for a run, and now it is ever more necessary to run in the morning. Without any excuse, delay, obstruction, interruption, disruption. Alarm, rise, run. Has to be just…
Spirit is tangled. Odd feeling, or perception. Can’t place or categorize, but communicating what I feel.
So… how I deal, WRITE. Anything coming to mind. Some frustrations with work, others elsewhere, and some energies that just won’t quiet no matter what words you offer. So – MINDFUL. Be present, thank the Universe for where you are… Taking camera into Sonoma County today. Picking up wine at Taryn’s, the a couple cases…
Feeling enough…
I don’t need to win every argument happening inside my head. I don’t even need to attend. There are things I can acknowledge without obeying. There are feelings I can feel without following. There are thoughts I can notice without turning them into instructions. And maybe that is part of growing into yourself: learning which…
And I take a second for myself, to myself, about my SELF.
I’ve become surprisingly skilled at detaching myself from the past, that “former life” I mention here from time to time. Not going back, not doing that anymore. I remind myself that I am HERE. Deciding that this is the only language, the only scene type, the only set of feelings I’ll allow to grow. I…

8-21-26 Class over. And the Sales Academy takes on new life, something to sell at some point. More on that later… The framing of Authenticity, notably and more specifically when it’s practiced, where my thinking is now. Let me brainstorm on this a bit more… 8-22-26 Early up with the Nurse. Coffee in the kitchen,…
Working from home. And relived no drive this morning.
Starting the day with writing, and meditation. And an attitude even my fiancee noticed. Silly and carefree, joking, taking very title to serious tier. And I further into the day settle, one task at a time. Just a decision… and a movement, mind and character newly assembled. DOMINANT FEEL – Anticipation. For anything ahead. Each…
the unexpected gems
14:48 Now 15:41…. Part of the day where it drags a bit. Sushi with Zent at Morimoto at 18:30…. Excited for the dinner but not thrilled about the drive, and why would I be. But, that’s the wrong attitude, so I toss it our. Today, one of unusually fiery activity from me. Getting things done…
Composition changes…
Writing booth… Diet Coke and a Composition book. Processing everything from the meeting with Director, a few moments ago ending. The opportunity, unspeakably promising, sizeable, definite. Staying in this project, this 070127 LAB … for now anyway. Seeing where it takes me and so many times I’ve found that’s what you need to…
from I JUST DECIDED TO STOP
SELF CARE is the turning. The returning. The continual decision to face myself again and say… Here you are. Let’s keep going, I say to myself reading a note from the other day in one of the journals. Nearing the end of the Content Storm I started on the 1st of April…. Haven’t created much…
