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. …

12:37 ===== Sonic Office, the Zen Den… haven’t written here in a while. Closed off from rest of office, quiet and private, nearly soundproof but not quite.
Gathering in Petaluma later, sales division and I think other departments, in fact yes I know others ‘cause I just ran into someone from Accounting that said they were going. Today, with no such oddity or pollution like yesterday. Learning and relearning strength, and what I can decide to do and not do. So, when…

12-10-25 In office. Quiet. 08:05… Training at 09:00. Settling in. Hearing people walk in, that little beep at the door from the badge swipe. Leading SELF, self-care, making self happy, the dominant idea on the drive over. Still tired but coffee helping. How to approach training differently today. Started page, dated it…. First word written,…

Back from Munich trip and I am alive and hungry and energetic, writing ideas down like a Tasmanian Devil-Writer since stepping into this office. Well, really since I left bed at 05:45. Nurse home sick, me checking on her as much as I can. Probably annoying her but when I love I love hard. She…
Munich, Germany …..
First full day. Well, kind of. I think. time lost its relevance a day ago, or two. Again, with the I guess you’d call it jet lag it’s hard to tell. But starting with this morning the Nurse and I wake at 03 something Munich time. We walk across the street to the transit center…

OPERATION2026. Day 3. Santa Rosa, CA…. Office. Meeting, Ops, in a bit. Thoughts brought into meeting, none prepared. My plan is to react, offer the core of my teaching and current manuscript. Driving over here thought of the idea of ONE BOOK. One MS at a time. So… today’s mission. Making my job easier…
Meeting in a couple minutes. My mental is in a place of prose and poem, placid paragraphs either way.
One last espresso injection. Running at EOD I decided. From 08:00 till about 16:30/17:00, I’m at the desk. In this educator scene. New Rep messages me back, and I smile. Today is only an invite. All days are. The music in the day has me in a meaningful and renewing steadiness. Logging on.. writing while…
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. …

4 miles and a tech-taught class later, I’m in the writing booth. The topic now and exploration, and I thought about this early, early this morning around 03:30 when I left sleep for some reason – Health and Productive Habits. Writing, running, reading… I look left and people are starting to leave the office, readying…

08:37. Day before Thanksgiving and the office is quiet. Coffee made. ZEN, all about me. Nothing infectious in thought, just me here talking to SELF in this journal, knowing the day and weekend ahead will be beaming in Story and calm. Class starting in 22 minutes. 10k Turkey Trot tomorrow with the Nurse. Running 4…
07:27. Saturday. Early start and working all weekend. One project – Sales Heights U/Sonic U.
All the methods and conversations. The principles, both those sales-honed and the universal. Getting in a run today, before noon. Aims mapped. And they will materialize. Still have some pieces to post from yesterday. May save for a book idea that wrapped itself around me this morning, after taking the Nurse to work, for her…
14:55 —> Up from a quick rest. Still fucking drained from yesterday and with this new project, I need to allocate energy where most optimal.
Find myself second-guessing. What else can I do, when all I have are my own thoughts. Well, a simple answer, DON’T FUCKING DO THAT. Doubt yourself why. What does that accomplish? And all the fucking time you spent doing that, gone. You’re not getting it back. So, restart. TOPIC.NEXT. The Sales Heights idea started by…
