Pioneering Into The Unknown

Image
 I think I possibly aged a bit more in the last several weeks. A turn of events I was not expecting, but knew at some point I would have to face. My princess pony passed with no visible signs other than slowed down, lethargic, and did not want to eat. She was never a fan of the extreme heat, but who is? I received a call while at my 2nd gig, she laid down and died. It was the phone call I did not want. Rushing out, I headed that way to a harrowing experience. They had already hoisted her in the truck, and upon arriving, I ran to the truck, threw my leg up on the bumper that was 4 feet off the ground, put my hand in the air to be pulled up, and did some Spider-Man move that only adrenaline can account for. Devastated is the only word to describe the emotions. Telling her, "go find grandpa" ( my dad). He has you now, Bruce'ms will show you the way." Inconsalable. She took her last breath alone, a guilt I can not let go of. I was with her the evening before and even rod...

Return On Interest...POV

 I apply my Life coaching skills in my everyday life, regardless of which hat I am wearing for the day. Let me ask, What's the point? What has been proven? What have you learned? And with all that, where are you finding yourself? How did all that work out for you? (Here is your mirror.)  #reflect Now tell me how you feel and what is actually happening (with you?) The mask has fallen, and the pretense is D-O-N-E #LIFECOACHING101 It is June 13, we are almost dab-smack in the middle of the month. The mildest and rainiest June STL has seen in years. Today has a Wisconsin fall feel. I am ok with it. It can rain. Possibly it will wash away whatever misery Missouri seems to harbor. The mood of most is complacent, going through the motions, working with what's in front of them, and not happy or content with any of it, and it's a meaningless disposition. I feel it and I see it everywhere. The discontent from life is silent screaming, and no one is paying attention because the tunne...

As The World Spins

Image
 I don't know where to start this morning. Something is wrong, and it is showing up everywhere, in all of our lives: in people's attitudes, business practices, revolving door relationships, on the road in rage, and society at large, which is going through some funk that too many do not want to address. If I could run somewhere far away, now would be the time! It's go time. Missouri, right now, is experiencing some odd effects through cloud seeding (my personal belief). Where I have mentioned before in a passing joke, that whirlybird that the gov has is the sky, turn it off and do it quickly. The weather has impacted communities and their welfare.  The mood of the general public is far surpassed bipolar and its effects on the subcranial. The conspirist I am, this last round of tornadoes in our area, a land grab, and an on-purpose neglectful act of ignoring a button to send sirens warnings. Although I do not have any access to city development plans or understanding the finan...

You Were Free Of That Choice... Where Did It Get You?

Image
 While it's in my head, I need to get it out. Type the thought and let the emotion flow. How it resonates or connects with you depends on where you are right now. Despite the handful of critics who still would like to debate my Life Coaching training, let me just throw out there—you chose this. You did this, and at whatever time "the circumstance" occurred in that fleeting moment, you made that decision. And I am guessing right now, you are questioning every choice or rash behavior you took a stance on to prove something. That something, that now has you pondering, "What in the world was I thinking?" Levels of disrespect come with behavior that has no accountability behind the action. I imagine the level of upset comes with the anger you feel towards someone's reaction   over how they handled the situation that presented the level of disrespect.  Simple Ex: A person expects you for dinner. You are tired, burnt out, probably mad at the world for who knows wha...

Recollections~Its In The Memory Bank

 "Hey, I need a color sheet. The dimensions are 12.75 x 8.5. That's front cover to back cover. Leave room for margins, spine, binding, and color bleeds. The artwork or photos need to be yours. You do want  4-color press, right?" This is how my morning started out.  This book thing has taken me back to my printing company days and all of my college graphic design phase. The lingo was not foreign to me. I just needed to remember the technique. Quark is outdated, and the last InDesign program I worked with was in the Creative Suite 4. I believe it is up to 7 now. Somewhere in my basement on a shelf is the college work I displayed, trying to earn a more than passing grade. Oh, somewhere in this phase of my life, I wanted to be a news reporter. I thought I was going to need how to learn to do print for who knows what. Honestly, who knows for sure what I ever think and landing in the restaurant industry is the farthest from where I ever wanted to be... it was just easy! Talk pe...

Message Of Reference

 Oh, say can you see-- Happy Memorial Day! Monday is a day of remembrance and sovereignty,  the freedom we take so lightly in our everyday lives. It is that 3-day holiday that many are thankful to have, me included. The house is clean, the yard is manicured, and the laundry is being done. No rest for the wicked and no rest for the weary. Off or not, with this menagerie, I need to stay on top of things. These short-haired hounds carry more dirt than when I had my lab. My good ole' Saddie girl. All that yellow fur. She was the best!  I swept and mopped with the intention of steam cleaning these floors. Yeah, maybe not today, though, I have promised myself I am going somewhere. I am getting in the car and I am going until I have to turn around and come back! Tortelli is on the menu for tonight with some Italian sausage meatballs in a white sauce. Which reminds me, I am out of wine. "Mr. Martini, how bout some wine?" 😉 In the meantime, I want to talk about inuendos, plots, a...
