Gratitude in the Form of Letting Go

Nov 26

This Thanksgiving, I notice a theme: Letting go. Letting go of expectations – of myself and others. If your life has been feeling heavy lately, this will instantly lighten things up.

My Fingers Do Weird Things

Nov 15

Yesterday, I was on a teleconference call and we were talking about offline marketing techniques. One technique we discussed was addressing envelopes by hand to increase the odds the mail piece get opened. It occurred to me that my handwriting these days generally sucks.

For 45 years now, people have accused me of being an extrovert. I suppose they have their proof: I have no problem with public speaking, I am friendly and outgoing (boisterous, even, on occasion), I make friends easily, I talk a lot…the list goes on and on.
