The Big Lie 9:09

2M ago9:09

9:09

Some things merit talking about more than once. This week is an example of that and it carries on from last week. If you missed it, here’s the gist - the bullshit perspective that in order to enjoy success, one first must suffer. Load of horseshit. What’s not horseshit, though, is the other bit of today’s epsiode - a heads-up on some changes in our…

Who Said it Had to Be Hard? 11:39

2M ago11:39

11:39

Seems like there was a handbook or instruction manual that I missed. The one that says in order to achieve success, one must first suffer. Newsflash. Not true.

Open Mouth, Insert Pie 9:44

With all the talk in the world there seems to be less and less listening and even less understanding. Ridicule and mocking have become bloodsport, going far beyond the pale.

Ah the joys of watching people hurling mud at each other online. Commentary threads saturated with finger pointing, name calling and utterly awful commentary.

Slow Roll 8:56

As a morning person I don’t really need coffee to get up to start the day. My eyes open and the engines are on and going. Most of the time, that is.

Aren’t acronyms fun? I sure think so, and this one in particular - YATA - is one with which near every person is familiar … though most tend to avoid admitting it.

Attention and Perception 10:35

It’s not what happens to you. It’s how you choose to view it. That sounds nice, but when life throws a shitstorm at your noggin, it feels impossible. Take that to macro scale, look at what’s happening in the world and it’s pretty easy to say - everything is going to hell in a hand basket and there’s no two ways about that. I call bullshit.

After taking a week off for the July 4th holiday, we're back with some swimmingly interesting perspectives. When learning to swim, typically one doesn’t just leap into the deep end right off.

Leaves on a Stream 9:40

5M ago9:40

9:40

It’s one of the most common visuals one hears in guided meditations. The concept of visualizing yourself sitting by a stream, and any time an errant thought pops into your head, to imagine it as a leaf on the stream, and allow it to drift by. It’s a visual I’ve always loved. It’s always worked. Thing is, I never really spent much time by streams. S…

Thirty Four 11:38

5M ago11:38

11:38

Though this relates to a specific incident a week or so ago, the troubling truth is that whenever you’re listening to this episode, it’s likely there’s been another incident that had the same result. A thing happened. One group of people celebrated it. Another group of people decried it as travesty, a disgrace. Both responses are bullshit. Saturate…

Jaime Konzelman 36:17

36:17

Jaime Konzelman is the kind of woman whose story will stop you in your tracks. It’s also the kind of story that, at least probably until somewhat recent years, most folks would have avoided telling. I mean, it’s not often that a high-power, deal-making corporate executive admits to having gotten her start as a stripper. She’s not the first woman I’…

When I was 9 years old I convinced one of my neighbors that my mother would allow me to have one of their Guinea Pigs. I brought it home. Needless to say, it didn’t go so well.

Country Courtesy 11:58

One of the most irritating things about driving in most American urban and suburban areas is the utter sense of entitlement and disregard for anything even remotely resembling courtesy.

Not sure when it happened but at some point doing nice things for people became suspect. You do something for someone and they think you want something. Sad, really.
