BufferDigg Digg Are you a juggler, like me, with several balls in the air at all times? Despite all our time-saving devices, our daily lives seem to be fuller than ever. Juggling all those balls can leave us feeling like we don’t have time for our creative work. This is actually my own #1 creative [...]
Here’s a video I made for you on my walk in the desert the other day. And yes, that is my light saber that appears at around 1:45.
More than two weeks have gone by since my last post, and that’s pretty much my self-imposed limit unless I’m taking a deliberate hiatus. Which, currently, I am not. Damn. It’s been hard to get around to posting because I have been overwhelmed lately with Things To Do. For the most part, they are things [...]
In Week 1 of A Year With Myself, CA Kobu’s unique 52-week self-development program, author Patti Digh wrote about “liminal spaces” and compared them to that period when a trapeze artist has let go of the first trapeze but not yet landed on the other one.

Some of this is [...]
Leave it to Americans to juxtapose Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Start with a day when we acknowledge our non-material blessings and the joy of community, and follow it up with millions giving their credit cards a pre-dawn workout for what will likely distract them from everything they were expressing such gratitude for just one day [...]
I have to admit that I am geeking out on this 11/11/11 thing. Although, as a Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coach, I specialize in creativity, which is considered a largely right-brain specialty, I am actually very whole-brained and can really rock a calculator. So my mathematical mind is in eleventh heaven today. Focusing on the significance [...]
Have you ever noticed how, once you resolve to change a pattern in your life, all kinds of stuff suddenly comes up to stop you? Like four years ago, when I forfeited half my teaching income for the promise of self-employment, and I immediately got hit with a $170 speeding ticket I could not afford, [...]
If you were going to dress up as one of your inner demons for Halloween, which one would you choose, and what would your costume be like? The demon I’m battling right now is indecision. As Indecision, I’d need some extra hands. As in “on the one hand, but on the other hand…and then on [...]
