WordPress Love I love using WordPress. It is as easy or as deep as you want it to be. You can spend minutes or hours depending on your need and level of expertise. It’s a great fit for me. If you need a website – for anything – I highly recommend giving WordPress a shot. […]
Fear not.
The Power of Fear. The only thing needed to slow down a dream is a seed of doubt. Given enough time and cultivation, that seed becomes rooted in our spirit. With the opportunity, the root will turn into a full-grown plant overtaking our heart and soul. The dream is slowed to grinding halt. Fear has […]
There is no such thing as work/life balance.
Is work/life balance possible? Alain de Botton is an author. He wrote the book Religion for Atheists. I’ve never read it, but the premise sounds interesting.

Hiding from reality? 5 ways to become more real.
Ready Player One A couple of weeks ago, I read, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.

It’s set in postapocalyptic United States in 2044 and follows Wade Watts. Young […]

We have so many streams of information that we are finding it hard to move forward with life and business. Newsweek magazine ran an article in their March 7th print edition about […]
Are you Overwhelmed with Information?
I read an article this week about the growing amount of information coming at us via online services (email, FB, Google, text messages, IM, Skype, etc), and how much energy it takes to keep track of it all. Research shows that the average corporate person receives 110 messages a day (don’t you hate it when […]
Creating Margin in your Life and Business
Last week I was swamped between life and business. At the end of the week, I had to make some choices. Do I blog or do I let it rest? Do I Facebook or do I let it rest? Do I twitter or do I let it rest? A quick look back at my activity […]
A Couple more reasons to get an iPad
If you haven’t already been talked into it, here are a couple of more reasons for you to get an iPad. First, this is probably one of my favorite apps I have right now (about 50 or so that I’ve cycled through both paid and free) – Flipboard. It takes your Facebook and Twitter accounts […]
