Walk on the Beach (01)

5 pieces of Flotsam and Jetsam that ran ashore on my virtual beach and still stick around after a month. I am gonna go for a walk and pick them up for you….

Found: The Right People Thing

I can read it again and again and still think its stunning and makes me slowly nod my head.

"Because life is not high school. There aren’t any cool kids….There are just people. Who have their own groups of right people.
And you get to belong anywhere where you feel safe and supported.
And you get to choose who gets to belong with you, and help them feel safe and supported….No, seriously. Life is not high school… Business is not high school. Nothing that happens is high school.

Except, of course, for high school."

…and here is Havi’s ship.

Found: Simplicity of life – birth, school, work, death

This is just blatant funny and I am impatiently waiting for his new posts.

“Kid, get used to it. You’re five and a half. The days of fun and leisure are over……its all downhill from here.”

…here is Troyen’s raft.

Found: Context shapes perspective and chops trees

About how it is to live near trees that are offensive and obsessing about choosing the right tool…for trees and in work life. Funny! Nerdy! Fascinating!

"Take a moment and step inside the mind of the brother-in-law. I’ve got several trees I want to get rid of… and what do I have in the garage? Two hammers, a paint can full of nails, some leftover wood and… a saw. Perfect. A saw."

…he rants in repose here.

Found: Where “Willpower” is not a concept that has any place

Eileen wants to walk her path in a mindful way and I like to follow her.

"Learning (painfully, experientialy) that change can only come after acceptance of what is. That observation without judgment is the first step toward creating lasting, positive change. (This stands in direct contrast to my past tendency to try to white-knuckle things into existence.)"

…read her journey from the beginning.

Found: When old recipes are not the same anymore.

It just makes totally sense when Michele Woodward explains it.

"You know I have the idea that we each have 100 units of energy to spend each day. Yesterday’s are gone, and tomorrow’s belong to tomorrow. All you’ve got is 100 to use today. And if you have created day-after-day which calls for 120, you’ve got a problem."

…so I read it all here.

I think that’s it so far. For this past month. Have a great weekend!
