One of Zig Ziglar’s most frequent piece of advice was this: You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want. I saw Zig speak years ago in Toronto. And he repeated that phrase many times. In fact, I went down a rabbit hole confirming…
I went for a run today. I headed out thinking that I would run 16km or 20km. It would depend on how I felt. After the first hour, I decided that I would go for the 20km distance. In total, it took me three hours to run 20km. That’s an average of 9 minutes per…
This was another good month for staying on track. Slow and steady is the way. Stick to the fundamentals: watch food intake, get good sleep, and exercise. My average weight went down 2.6lbs over June’s weight. So, I was down to 202.6lbs. My heaviest of the month was 205.4lbs. Lightest was 197.4lbs. Towards the end…
People you may know. They keep popping up on my Facebook feed. Some of them I do know. Some of them I’m aware of but don’t know. And some others…? They’re friends with one person I know?? Why would you assume they are my friends, Facebook? But it’s the ones that you…
Another benefit of going to the Fringe is getting inspired to work on some of your own projects. Fringe-spiration comes from the shows you see that you liked. From the shows that you saw that could have been better. And from all the conversations you have with people during the Fringe. The…
One of the best things about going to the Fringe is bumping into friends and acquaintances. There’s always time for a quick catch up before the show starts. Or an in-depth debrief over drinks after the show. You can share what to go see. What to avoid… And commiserate on everything in between. There’s even…
June ended up going in the right direction. Weight-wise. I wasn’t so sure at the halfway point. June was the month of Burn. Lots of extra food and drink. Late nights. Late snacks. Plus, visits from family and friends. I refocused on the second half of the month. Overall, my average weight was 205.2lbs. Down…
I love to run. But I don’t always run consistently. I will go for months without running. Which is weird. When I’m running, I let my mind wander. I don’t need to listen to music. Or to a podcast. Or an audio book. I’m happy to run with only my thoughts to accompany me. And…
Does anyone really need a billion dollars? I think about that sometimes. Sure, it would be nice to never have to worry about money again. But how much is too much? Easy for me to ask, I guess. Because my “enough” is minuscule compared to a billionaire’s “enough”. But how much do they think is…
I was talking with an acquaintance last weekend. It was at a party, and I hadn’t spoken to this person in a while. She told me that she still thinks about my play Minced. And she asked why it hasn’t been performed more. It’s flattering to know that something I wrote still lingers in the…
