New month.  Feels like Fall, on the drive over.  Light drizzle, calm, foggy and low clouds in Carneros. Off now, about to head into training. Coffee, writing, calm. Talking to Engineer, then another colleague, then another.  All positive and loving energy and vibes. The Sales Trainer Story turns into an engineering effort.  I’ll explain what…

Week Starts, But I Already Started Writing

Number of ways.  And more than a simple choice, or decision or declaration.  Embodiment, and moving my mode to one that doesn’t entail as much thinking. That’s right, think less.  As in, WAY less. Everything from whim today, and for the foreseeable.  Lunch with the Nurse has me riled and impossible to calm.  Why?  The…

Moving quick this morning.  Training for MDU Acquisition. 

Many of its properties and practices quite the same as being an AE.  Far as I know, anyway. Sipping coffee, and seeing the small steps as the most determinant and expansive with impact.  Not one negative or nay-saying shake in my senses, none. 9:08am, and calming further.  Up early this morning, with no fail.  No…

Happy Bride

Nearing the day, and always smiling. ♥️

Class done.  PEACE OF MIND, the idea I’m leaving with.

Something to build upon… something to, I don’t know… fix a certain way. On the Road in a little less than two hours.  Till then…. Writing.  Making a mess.  Brainstorming on the idea of the painter approach, just fucking fill the canvas.  With this Story… Former college English Instructor, wine industry, now in tech/internet/telecom or…

Friday.  Not that I’m one of those Friday rahrahrah people…

Class in 17 minutes.  Looking at this at anything but sales or sales-related. EVERYTHING Heights Highway, where I’m placing everything.  Even myself. Consolidating in the easiest way, and that’s what I’m learning to appreciate – when something is made simple, more singularized, it is more applicable, or useful, more adaptable I guess. Too many want…

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…

Just DECIDED…

NEW DAY Deciding that stressing and overthinking are illegal.  More like a ruling. Like I’m a judge in my own court. Creating feeling, and fuck the result, consequence, response, whatever. You know how amazing this feels? One deadline for day, later. I’m here, in this Beat, moment, scene, and not trying to fix or improve…

…a couple steps.

Class done. Working on CZL… setting up an account. Need to wait a couple days for a verification.  UGH… just keep posting, I tell myself.  The CZL idea now forms into a way of life mode, seeing beauty in the simple. So what is it, beyond the visuals…???  Seeing something in the moment.  And it…

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…

11:52

Lunch soon.  No run, too tired.  I know it’s not an excuse, letting it slide this one last time. Where am I going, no idea… part of me wants to stay here and another to treat myself.  Hmmmm… Hitting all projects with not much method other than eagerness and wanting to se a product, something…
