I did the right thing
The Uber driver asked me how my day was and he was quite chipper. But I was even happier. I was joyful and humming. It’s been hard to hide my joy. And I should not need to. He asked me if my day had gone as expected and […]
Skipping out on your reality crash
You told yourself a nice little manufactured story A story of brazen lies and innuendo A bit to cast your faults onto others Was caught in your spider web of holes I threw it off like a moldy scarf Your public pretense of care offensive I’m leaving your […]
Staying in one’s lane: No thanks
About four weeks ago, I sat down with someone for the first time. I was meant to go over a slew of information to help the individual acclimate themselves to their new role. Beforehand, I had originally been cautiously optimistic about the meeting. Soon into the meeting, however, […]
Break it and you buy it: No thanks
Sometimes when you break something in a store, then they make you pay for it. I remember hearing something similar when Colin Powell noted the Pottery Barn rule of “you break it, you bought it.” Although, the phrase goes further back than Pottery Barn, supposedly. The phrase “If you break it, you’ve bought it” was reportedly first […]
I like magic shows but I’m no magician
This past year has been the year of magic for me. And, by that I do not mean that the year has been one of grand delight and awe and sugar and spice. For it most definitely has not been. Instead, I am being a bit more literal […]
Don’t just trust the process, be part of the process
Many years ago I had a work colleague who constantly noted that one had to trust the process. This colleague so greatly believed in that perspective that their wall had posters encouraging others to similarly believe such perspectives. It annoyed me to no end. Why should I trust […]

I needed to prove it And I did I got beaten up But I survived I wasn’t broken Although time mightily tried Time failed in trying to swindle me And, now I know I truly can do anything No one can take this away from me I am […]
I wish children would be able to run offices for two to three days a month
I have not slept well at all this past week. Make that the past three weeks. I have had a high number of tasks to accomplish in a very short time span. On top of which, I had a business trip which was even more nerve-wracking than usual. […]
Oh that’s rich: One petty person annoyed by another petty being
I don’t know what is the color of pettiness. I know green is envy but everything else is a crapshoot. Or so it seems to me. The color red can be anger and it can be love. Perhaps both simultaneously. I’m fascinated as to how certain colors come […]
A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there: Just small doses then
I have never really taken the easy road. The easy life. I have dared to dream and have gone after it. Whatever “it” has been. It is a good thing to be tough and to fight a good fight. Sometimes you just have to do so. But […]
