This stuff, DELICIOSO. Need something yummy to enhance chips, crackers, veggies? This stuff. Sure pick-me-up as you work through the day? This stuff. Now shamelessly eating it from a jar? Yes. Glad it comes in a three-pack from Costco? Yes. Recommended? YES.

Do It Anyway
I’ve thought a lot lately about anxiety, worry, and fear. In fact, it’s been a topic I return again and again to most all of my life. I wonder how to respond, cope, battle, persevere through these feelings; to not let them consume, devour, destroy; instead, to transcend. I’ve lived with these emotions the whole …
Lyrics Post: “One”
This song by U2, from a long while back. They’ve got a lot of good songs; this is one of my favorites. "One" “Is it getting betterOr do you feel the sameWill it make it easier on you nowYou got someone to blameYou say One loveOne lifeWhen it's one need in the nightOne loveWe get …
Do What You Can Do
Two examples here I’d like to share. Two men who believe in taking care of the planet: Doing the right things around that every day. The first guy I know; he’s family. He’s a dad and a public servant and a bike rider and an outdoorsman. And he picks up the trash when he’s out …

The Unexpected
A bunch in life might go in this category. I think we humans crave stability as a result. Trying to create predictable, repeatable outcomes. But it doesn’t always go that way. The numbers you thought were correct aren’t. People you work with get sick or otherwise are unavailable to help with an important project. There’s …
At It Again: Seeking…
Calm. Respite. Comfort. A good meal. The energy and the attitude and the grace to carry it all forward into the week. All of the Above. YES.
Void
What fills the void? Not sure, what do I mean? In your personal time? In your work time? In your soul? The times when things seem unsettled, uncertain, a little {or a lot} empty. I find it’s things, the little things, day-to-day, these are the things that fill the void, that make it all worth …
A Week In Pictures
What a week; so many different aspects; here are some of the highlights. Early up, more often; helps sooth the anxieties of the day. Halloween is coming; decorations in the neighborhood. One of my favorite bands from long ago; listened anew; it was great. That debate; WOW; I wish I’d had a bit of whisky …
