Week #8, 2025
It hasn't always been this way, and it won't always be this way. What way it will be is up to the people who choose to lead. That SHOULD BE YOU!
Week #7, 2025
Week #7 of 2025 has arrived. The world is changing. But then again, it always is. What doesn't change? The seasons, the sunrise, the truth that the world is a place of abundance, if you would only start to see it. Time to walk over to your 4K Weeks poster and fill in another square. Done? Last week on the podcast I mentioned that I was curious who listens... I said I would consider 10 emails that said "I'm listening" a success. We received 6. So, this week on the podcast I joked that it was the last week of the podcast. Likely there was at least one person who, in the pregnant pause, thought, "Dang, I should have sent...
Week #5, 2025
The thing about cycles is this. While inevitable and heroically beautiful, they are simultaneously tragic and sucky.
Week #4, 2025
Week #4 of 2025 has arrived. The polar vortex has sent super cold weather to the Great Plains. My hands hurt it's so cold. The polar vortex is cyclical. Time to walk over to your 4K Weeks poster and fill in another square. Done? Cycles. Everything cycles. And yet, cycles don't exist in a vacuum. We are imprisoned in the cycles of: the universe, the earth, human history, our country, our culture, our politics, our family, etc... but we aren't imprisoned by those cycles. And while as individuals we can't remove ourselves from the cycles we find ourselves in, our actions do affect the trajectory and duration of the cycles. You do have agency. However, it is often not the agency that...
Week #3, 2025
Week #3 of 2025 has arrived. Wow. And just like that we are 5.76923077 percent through 2025. Does it surprise you how "little" 5 percent of the year is? 2025 is a flash in the pan. Enjoy it! Time to walk over to your 4K Weeks poster and fill in another square. Done? I got an email "thank you" from a reader this week. She was specifically thanking me for four sentences that hit her at just the right moment earlier this year. I had forgotten that I wrote them. But they bear repeating as we all try to make a fresh start this year. Don't carry anything into the new year that isn't serving your purpose. Here are the...
Week #2, 2025
Week #2 of 2025 has arrived. And just like that the starting pistol has sounded, all of the anxiety about starting the race is over, and now we are in the middle of the beginning of the New Year. Time to walk over to your 4K Weeks poster and fill in another square. Done? I love the holidays, but I’m not sad that they’re over. This year especially felt more fraught than usual. I heard a similar refrain from a lot of folks my age. A break in the routine is important, but you know what is more important? Loving your routine. If you don’t enjoy your day to day… if you NEED the escape of weekends, vacations and holidays… changing...
Week #1, 2025
Week #1 of 2025 has arrived. Wow... look at that stretch of empty squares! So much potential energy waiting to be unleashed on the world! Time to walk over to your 4K Weeks poster and fill in another square. Done? It's a NEW YEAR, and so... a new look to the newsletter! Let me know what you think, and thanks to Eli, my spectacular executive assistant, for all of her hard work pulling it together. I know this is a bit strange... getting the Week #1 of 2025 email on 12/29/2024. But, come Wednesday we will be in the middle of Week #1, 2025. So, think of these 2 days left in 2024 as a launch ramp. ...
Week #52, 2024
You often don't have a choice about the first arrow. You ALWAYS have a choice about the second.
Week #48, 2024
Week 48 of 2024 has arrived. The holiday planning and decorations are in full swing. Enjoy it. It's the most human thing in the world to celebrate the endings and beginnings of things. Time to walk over to your 4K Weeks poster and fill in another square. Done? I have been writing this weekly newsletter for 2 years and 2 weeks. 106 weekly newsletters. Does that seem like a lot? I have been recording the podcast for a year and 2 weeks. 54 podcasts. Does that seem like a lot? It doesn't seem like it has been that long, and also it seems like I have always been writing it each week. I think that is when a good habit...
