I had no idea that singing was fun. It was scary to me. Something I wasn’t good at. I didn’t like going to Karaoke. The exposure was too great. The risk of failure guaranteed. I didn’t even sing in the shower. And yet tomorrow night, I start my third session with Vocal Point Choir in…
I’m still working my way through Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. I’ve recommended the book to many people. It’s great! But it’s taking me a long time to get through it. It’s supposed to be a 12-week program. It’s been almost two years and I haven’t finished it yet! I keep getting stuck on some…
As soon as I hit publish on yesterday’s post, I was flooded with regret. Why did I declare it? What was I thinking? Publishing a post a day for a whole year?? I mean, I’ve thought of doing it for years. Of making the same commitment. But it’s so much. And my previous attempts at…
Is this my year to ship? To ship regularly? I bought myself the Seth Godin Ship It desk calendar. In the hopes that it would inspire me to be more productive. Yesterday’s entry had a QR code that opened to an interview that Seth had with Marie Forleo a few years ago. I had seen…

When my daughter asked me to give a speech for her wedding, I was thrilled! I had visions of creating a TED talk about love and marriage. It would be funny and insightful. Sheer brilliance. I mean, after thirty-five years of matrimony, I should know a thing or two on the subject. Right? Caileigh and…
July weight loss went in the right direction. But not very far. My average weight was 203.9lbs for July. Down from the previous month, but only by 0.2lbs. Highest weight was 207.6lbs and lowest was 200.6lbs. The month was off to a good start because I was cutting out TV during the week. It’s a…
I decided to skip the April 2023 and May 2023 Mile Markers because they canceled each other out. My weight loss for April was 0.4lbs. And then I gained it back by the end of May. So, a net gain of zero from where I was at the end of March. For both of those…
