It seems like a simple rule...doing more good than harm. But life's complexities and complicated perspectives don't always make it easy. Tomorrow, while you're mixing and chopping, also take a moment to boil life down to its simplest ingredients. Love. Family. Friends. Laughter. Joy. Gratitude.

D, E, F, G — an apology and a rant about falafel. http://wp.me/p3Z7qB-71

D is for the disappointment I feel when I attempt to commit to a daily blog challenge and fail on day #4. E is for energy…of the creative sort. I love my job, but writing saps my creative energy and when I do it in bulk, I need a little recovery… [ 225 more words. ]

Story time. The other day I was either watching something or listening to something or reading something… I can’t remember, but whatever I was doing I heard/read about this chef who was walking through his kitchen one day and popped a caper… [ 484 more words. ]

Branding, Brevity and Bouncing Back http://wp.me/p3Z7qB-6Q

If I could sum up my transition from 2013 into 2014 it would be with four “b” words. Coincidentally B is the theme assignment for today’s A to Z Challenge blog post. Branding. I learned a valuable lesson about representing myself as a…

A two minute, private, scientifically-proven life hack for people who sometimes feel powerless http://wp.me/p3Z7qB-6D

I am not a fan of game playing, manipulation or power moves. It’s cheap, hollow and empty. I get that it’s a thing that exists in this world, but I prefer not to play. Keep in mind, I grew up in a pretty cut-throat profession with some really… [ 303 more words. ]

How creatives and extreme athletes use the same process to get into “the zone” http://wp.me/p3Z7qB-6w

You know that dream-like feeling you get when you’re riding the creative wave? I spend so much of my time chasing that… trying to get back to it, but it’s never easy. Partly because once I achieve ”creative flow,” I lose… [ 363 more words. ]

This might crack your world wide open. It did mine. http://wp.me/p3Z7qB-6n

As years go by, I discover I need more and more “down time” to function in life. By down time, I mean a full 24+ hours holed up in my home, drowning myself in inspiring content, making lists and reflecting on which paths and projects will… [ 437 more words. ]

Because...commitment http://wp.me/p3Z7qB-5c

Look, I need structure. I grew up (so to speak) in a newsroom where missing a deadline or getting a story wrong meant being on the S List for like a month with all of the crap assignments. Nobody’s around here to enforce that kind of punishment,… [ 534 more words. ]
