Just Pretty
My dear first born. Quiet, smart, gentle, playfully creative. She likes to color; she sent me this. Just pretty.
Start With A Hook
Start with a hook, that’s a good rule of thumb, to make a splash, make the words on the page stand out, grab, snare the reader, No better way for the writer and the reader to take that first step together, Delighted to be together as tale, the essay, the piece unfolds, Start with a …
Varied Enthusiasm
A silent, passive killer of progress: varied enthusiasm. Or maybe more precisely, enthusiasm variance at inopportune times. Like when it’s crunch time to complete tasks or a project, but you’re not motivated; Like in critical moments of team effort but the team’s not in sync; Like some players running while others are walking, meandering.

It’s A Lot

One stat: 420 Ha, not really. It really a stat either…more of a number symbol…so anyway, on a more serious note… Have shared this perspective before, but it’s so fundamental to who and how I am — and how I can improve — that it’s with revisiting. Fundamentally, looking at numbers, charts, statistics … it …
