Coasting Along
Life feels slow today. Things feel like they’re at a standstill. The funny thing is, last week and the six weeks leading up to it were very busy. It felt a little like a class three river was carrying me downstream. There wasn’t much time to pause and breathe. I was getting whisked along. I…

In a pickle.
Oh to be caught in a pickle. It’s rarely exciting, unless you’re playing baseball in the 1960’s and your life is some version of the movie Sandlot.

Getting Unstuck
I’ve been stuck. I’ve been stuck for a few months now. I’ve been caught up in a consulting project and I’ve put my other work on the back burner. I haven’t dedicated as much time to creating whether it’s art or writing. I haven’t coached as much over the last few months. I’ve been consumed…
