I’ve worked for a long time, and I’ve learned a lot, and had a good run so far. I’ve been a courier and a sales guy and a manager and more sales and supply chain and now. Now well into full stride, it’s time to go into overdrive on the Creative Side. OVERDIVE. LIVING THE …

Deep in Family
Things to do, do some, sure; cross a couple things off the list. Two stops to start the day, a couple three hours out, a couple stores, gather up the staples for the week, for the family. Family the reason, the purpose, what matters most, who to get back to. Who to spend time with. …
Dad Solo, Be The Rock
First, I’m not a solo dad. Let’s be clear about that. My “Better Half” and I parent together, and keep this family together as a team. So that said, I’m sitting on the couch one afternoon. I’m with my son, who’s not feeling well. He’s taking a nap just now. Watching “Free Solo”, about Alex …
Lessons From The Invisible Border
This pod is about the border and related differences between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It goes back to The Troubles, and how two sides that had committed heinous crimes against each other, how they found peace. One of my favorite bits from this piece is that they explain the solution was found …
Balance Love & Action
This concept may be one of my fundamental goals, fundamental challenges, my life chrystalized each day. Love is centered on being and feeling and valuing the time, the moment, the people you are with. It's deep into NOW.

Battling anything massive, it's the resolve, the grit, that makes the difference when facing difficult challenges. Certainly addiction is such a circumstance. But it's not the only one. Little kids and learning any number of lessons: riding a …
Lyrics Post: “Recently”
I've loved this song since the first time I heard it a long while back, decades even. An early gem from Dave Matthews. The music, the lyrics, the guitar play, the tempo...just love it to bits. "Recently I've beenAll of content and dreaming I have been"'Cause I been lately seeingQuite a bit of this woman …
Lean In
This phrase, "Lean In", is a common expression. It means to push back against that which is giving you difficulty. Don't give in to the challenge. Keep working. I did a search in this blog recently I've written about this concept several times over the years. No wonder. It's so fundamental to a happy life. …
Fat Tuesday
A week ago we celebrated “Fat Tuesday”, “Mardi Gras” in French. It’s historically celebrated as the last day before Lent in the Christian — and particularly the Catholic Christian — World. Since Lent is seen as a time of reflection and extra spiritual discipline, Fat Tuesday is the last day before is a chance to …
Each Day
“Each day go back to being small within, be simple and enthusiastic, and recall the blessings in your life. Do these, and your heart will remain open for others, and your spirit will be grounded in love.” This advice from Pope Francis recently rings true in at least a few ways. The fundamental premise, the …
