Seeing the Unseen ~
It does you know ~ speak to us, that is. Subtly, over time, creating lines of communique as unique as a fingerprint. Fine tuning itself, whittling away the superfluous, the extraneous. In a frenetic world the droning on of each and every thing, ever thought by every one of us. The pace of living that most often outpaces us. We, plodding along from one task to the other with nary a moment to consider what is happening between the spaces. I have found that, between these places, life is abundant with the most delightful whisperings. Weaving their way through, billowing across our awareness - training ears and eyes, hearts too. How are we to see them, these unseen, if not for moments of repose? Glimmers of awareness that, if not for our collective tethering to various devices, might even provide breathing room to actually see what might just have the potential to be revealed.

tracking change
One day, I woke up old, fat, and tired. Full disclosure: I had also gone to bed old, fat, and tired – I wasn’t the victim of an evil, Rip-Van-Winkle spell. But, for whatever reason, on this particular morning, I came face-to-face with the reality of how far gone I was, and I suddenly wanted to do something about it. I wanted to feel better. I knew it was possible. I knew women my age and older, who had the same health challenges that I had, but who were like virtual Energizer bunnies compared to me.

How to Achieve Your New Year's Resolutions
Now that it is the start of a new year, many of us have goals that we have set that we want to achieve. Whether your goal is to go to the gym more, to eat healthier, to get better grades, to find a new job, etc. You won’t be able to achieve your goal unless you stop procrastinating, and start being more productive throughout the day.

The Necessity of Experiential and Personal Development Plans
Consider for a moment that your experience is the product of your actions, thinking, capabilities, opportunities, challenges, and literally your operational living. Think about you and the experience of being you as a business venture with you at the center of it. There are many departments that take care of the things that you don’t have to think about and the details of reports are brought to mind so you can choose the best course of action moving forward. Running a successful business can be harder than you think and you have to find time for yourself amidst the flurry of activity within the habitual routines to function at your best. There’s so much to do and so little time to do it. Even in the highest efficiency operations, there are many things that fall by the wayside on a daily basis and that doesn’t even take into account any emergency that arises. Honestly, it can feel hard sometimes to even do the basic things that we need to keep ourselves together. Our daily experience affects getting a good night’s sleep, our level of hydration, if we get an uninterrupted meal, if we’re craving intimacy, and so much more. Similar to new parents feeling the burnout and tradeoffs from a disjointed routine we will start to imagine the lost time made up for, and what it will be like once their kids are grown. Before life gets to survival mode and dreaming of better days ahead, you’ll need to take a good look at yourself, where you are lacking, where you are thriving, and where you want to go. Just like a business you should take the time to document your life and develop an experiential plan to live well and develop.

We all have shit we suck at.
We all have shit we suck at. We all have decisions we made that let down roads we wish we didn't have to go through. We all have embarrassing parts of our lives. Most of us have some area in our lives where we really feel like we need to get out shit together.
