08:50 back from coffee and getting ready for…. In the book, don’t worry.  Big day for the Nurse and I.  Again, more later. Mindful of the room, me in it.  Feelings, emotions – Calm, grateful, but uncontrollably excited. For everything.  What’s next in the Story, starting with the Company.  And, then, of course, BDX.  Taking…

Day of assessments today.  Three on the calendar. 

Assessing self to start, and I find myself self-doubting and no idea why. Make it your own, I tell myself. The lesson of the day so far is SELF-belief.  And self-elevation.  Rising above any negative thought or envisioning. People filing into the building, settling at their desks.  Seeing where I am, what I’m doing, what…

First meeting lighting me on fire.  Hard to contain passion after a meeting like that. Where you’re thanked, praised, asked for further insight.  Huh, imagine that.  And, ENCOURAGED to keep doing what you’re doing…? 09:28 and off the ground.  Thinking about the lunch run, but also still feeling the 7-miler from yesterday.  Nothing thinking about…

Feeling off.  Arrived late.  Meeting in 19 minutes. Talking SELF out of this lull, this lugging of soul. Focus on the work… Aims for day are Finish Playbook, Write out agenda and send to VP, work on assessment notes. Assessing SELF, all in the mood.  Battling it.  Type here, focus here, be HERE.  In this…

Taking 10 or 15 or more for ME.

Coffee and the writing space, this little booth.  Full-circle moment for me, and where I am in the circle is telling me to keep going.  To be my own AI.  Not that I ever really use it seriously, but to depend more on myself and what I’m thinking in a given moment.  Right now… quiet…

Office.  Hearing everything.  Senses heightened, rereading notes from yesterday on branding, content creation.  You don’t “need” anything.  Everything for creation is already present. I’m more alert and awake and sharp and hungry than in past months, or maybe years.  Obvious why that is.  Keep the Beat in its complete keep. More coffee, first note Nurse,…

11:57 Heading to lunch.  Long meeting and need a break.  Turns out, no run.  It’s cloud and I’m not in the running mind.  AGIAN, should have gone this morning but with interrupted sleep and tired as  tired can be, no. So, taking self to lunch.  Thinking…. Tacos?  Or the Peruvian place.  I don’t know, not…

Mindful practice saves me — and where self-assessment makes it stick. Mindfulness says: Notice what’s here. Self-assessment asks: What’s working? What’s not? Then I realize, everything is working.  Then ask, what wouldn’t be working, and what would, and to what end?  Mind going in circles, and shit maybe I’m overthinking as the Nurse always says…

New business idea, and settlement on the drive to Vacaville.  Day starting with a latte with Nurse and Oliver, reminding me again how fortunate my Story is layer over layer, and how much good is ahead of this writer. The last blog, #bottledaux, being made an agency.  Content and messages, thoughts and drawing board activity…….
