After the Brainstorm clarity mindset Mar 08, 2022

There is so much to consume in every facet of our lives. Now, we have the constant din of internet-connected war coverage coming at us from so many angles and perspectives.

The New Normal clarity mindset Feb 02, 2022

Please, God, or whatever superior life force you believe in, purge that phrase from my purview. “The New Normal.” I use that as my title today because I want to vanquish its use. It is so damn, defeatist. This note is nothing about that.

My homeroom teacher, and science teacher, Mr. Kirst, was a bit of a Renaissance Man, both a science guy and an art guy. He gave out awards to each of his students. Each award was a ball-po...

Indecision is a Radical Decision clarity consciousness flow mindset Nov 18, 2021

Many think that a decision has to be a conscious choice. It doesn’t have to be. Often, we let the decision be made for us by not being conscious. Oppositely, being in Flow is another way of saying you are in control.
