Reality cannot be what any one person thinks it is.

Hi X Friends. I made it home from the hospital last week and have been recuperating here. Things are going well but the stroke left me with dizziness, headaches and something colorfully called Drunken Sailor Syndrome. Or as I like to call it - Drunken Toddler Syndrome. Meds…

Well, I had a stroke. How’s that for a hook? Monday morning I had a light stroke. I’ve been in hospital since. I’ll write a longer piece later. For now: The symptoms: intense dizziness, throwing up, profuse sweating. The cause: Unknown. Related to family history and high…

I’m developing a course. But I keep stopping myself. What if no one wants it? What if it’s crap? So I’m telling myself: Stop! It’s not about the course. It’s about learning how to create a course. You’re just going through a learning process, not solving all problems…

To live a new life, I (and you) will have to give up the familiar, the known. There's almost always resistance to doing that. Why? This current life feels safe because it feels familiar. But is it really? I had to force myself to ask some hard questions. Am I secure…

I’m not posting because I’m not writing. I’m not writing bc I’m “too busy.” Why am I too busy? Because I’m prioritizing other people’s needs ahead of my own. Have been my whole life. Time to re-order, re-prioritize. I’ll have a new schedule by the end of the day that…

Heads up to anyone, especially older folk, who are trying to create something new: You’re probably going to face some Resistance. When I started my X/social media/YouTube/online content creator journey in April, I had a gust of inspiration filling my sails. I made good…

I've really appreciated Awra's kind support and encouragement.

So today was: Helping parents of a young man in a manic episode figure out their options for getting him care; Getting insurance payments flowing again; A meeting with my tax accountant; The gym (yay!); Shopping for a new coffee grinder (my old one died), How did that take…

What a nice surprise to see I'd topped 200 followers this weekend, esp. given I haven't been so active the last couple of weeks. June was a hectic month, with some setbacks, but also some great learning. Here's to bright futures for all who love learning and growing!

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”- James Clear Saw this in @matt_gray_'s newsletter today. It really hit me: You waste a lot of time and energy without systems. I tell this to others all the time. I forget about it myself…

Not gonna lie: Last week and this one so far have been a little tough. Snafu with an insurance company that needs to get worked out before I can get paid; Lots of business stuff to take care of; Feeling a little overwhelmed with everything on my plate. Saw this quote…

"Healthy individuals are [people] who are, first of all, authentic. They do not try to live lives denying who they are in order to please society or others, but rather they live lives that are true or faithful to their inner callings. There is a tendency in our society to…

I got invoked in “Remembering Gene Wilder” last night on @netflix A sweet and funny look at a brilliant actor, writer, and director. So I made it up a little later today. Still yawning over my coffee. Glad I watched it though because it gave me an important reminder: Don’t…

Fellow Xers, I’m building a course. What platform do you recommend? I anticipate my course(s) will have video to watch and some articles to read. I’d like it to have a journaling function to help get folks writing and maybe a community-building function for folks to be able…

I've been thinking a lot the past few days about the courage it takes to love. It takes courage to love yourself. To look yourself in the eyes in the mirror and say, "I know how critical you are of yourself and others and, even with all that, I love you. You're alright with…

You know those days when life happens and you can’t get on X? Yeah, that’s me today. Hold my place in line. Brb.
