If I had my preference synchronicity would mean buyers showing up at my door out of the blue with a checkbook already out. Instead this week it meant messages from all directions to take pictures and establish patterns of behavior – at least that’s what it meant to me.

There’s no big status report this week – my big accomplishment has been losing my voice as a not-quite-bad-enough-to-stay-home cold has occupied my time. What I’ve notice though is the amount of pressure I’m putting on myself to still accomplish great things on a very routine basis. It’s always interesting to note where you...

Don’t ask me why, but as a freshman in college I took calculus as an elective. It wasn’t required and had nothing to do with my major (history) so it must have been pure stubbornness on my part. Even though I had optimal conditions for learning the subject; a class of only six students...

It’s funny how when things start happening you just want even more to happen. That’s where I am this week; trying to reign myself in. At the last minute I found out about the chance to submit artwork for the giant hospital expansion nearby – since I can hear them pounding and shouting all...

The phrase ‘thinking isn’t doing’ has come up in a phone conversation, a book...

For some yet-to-be-ascertained reason, Julia Child has been on my mind for the last few months. It could be that her career transition from secret service to chef could teach me a few things about making major changes or maybe just that I’ve been self-analyzing too much and the fact that we have the...

I suspect that the last day of March is going to turn out to be a pivotal one for me. In trying to follow my own advice on problem solving, I was researching in the ‘people also bought this’ section of Amazon for potential expertise. I saved off a couple of interesting books, one...

It’s just been one of those weeks. No major catastrophes, but plenty of frustrating distractions – starting with the squirrel setting up housekeeping in the attic and a minor case of bronchitis or something similar that is making me feel like I imagine pack-a-day smokers feel when facing a StairMaster, further derailing my stab...
