humanity
The real lives of businessmen, professionals, the everyday man, stay at home parent, healthy lifestyle influencers, and general feel good human stories.
Get you next time...
Winter, the humbler. Taunting the snowy peak on castle-storming errands, four wheels gambling from valley to top, introducing the new myth of the No Lives Snowcap. Or…mid-day walks, stalking wind’s brisk current through my neighborhood. Recluse to the garage’s freeloader for busy hands and summer dreams where the tickets to ride are always warnings at worst. That’s the shit end of a fresh dip outside the former high tide line. Near a mile above, not the time to revisit the below. The free space that was once held by loaded Irish coffees till noon to overflow the writing stream red-eyed behind the laptop screen, typing as the words blur. Never reread the orange notebook. None. Mental push-ups to get the placebo effect of the imaginative inner monologues, pressing me—US—me forward into the oblivion of daylight. “Would you like a bag?”

Holidays don't always feel Magical
As the holiday season is under full swing I just wanted to take the time to write this blog. My favorite holiday is Christmas, but not ever Christmas or holiday season has felt magical to me. If you're feeling the same way you aren't alone. I also feel with the state of the world currently, this year might feel extra heavy. Some have also experienced loss of different compacities during the holidays, adding another layer to holidays not feeling quite so magical. For me personally it's mixture of so many things, from it being my grandmas birthday who is no longer here, to being broken up with on her birthday. All of that aside I feel like there is so much expectations put on holidays. Seeing people getting engaged, commercials showing happy couples and families. Making it feel like the holidays can only feel magical because of these things. While that is further from the truth, it's easy to get caught up in that narrative.

The Rising Tide: Navigating the Shifting Sands of Your Ascendant
The human experience is a tapestry woven with cycles – the daily rhythm of sunrise and sunset, the lunar phases, the changing seasons. Just as these cosmic and terrestrial rhythms influence our world, so too do astrological cycles shape our personal journeys. Often, these subtle shifts are felt more acutely when they involve our rising sign, also known as the Ascendant. If you're feeling a particular pressure, a sense of being on the cusp of something new, the cosmos might be whispering that your rising sign is entering a fresh cycle. Understanding this transit can be incredibly empowering, allowing you to navigate the coming changes with awareness and intention.

Decoding the Universe's Echoes: Why Repeating Patterns Matter
Have you ever found yourself in a situation that feels eerily familiar? A relationship that mirrors a past one, a career challenge that resonates with a previous struggle, or even a recurring dream that plays out with relentless regularity? These aren't simply coincidences. They are, according to a growing body of thought, the universe's way of communicating. As the saying goes, "If you keep seeing the same pattern, the universe is repeating a message you skipped."

Will Anyone Remember
An article popped up on my phone today about Buddy Guy turning 89 years old. He was quoted as saying, “I’m the last old man playing the Blues.” For those of you who aren’t Blues fans, you may have never heard of Buddy so let me fill you in. He ranks right up there with Blues greats, B.B. King, Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Etta James. I’ve had the pleasure of attending two of his performances over the years and came away smiling both times. I’m sure if you search the net for his recordings you’ll feel the same. Buddy may be my inspiration for writing this, however this is not about him.

Your intuition guides you toward alignment before the next phase arrives.

Process
Looking out the wide windows, snow breezes off tower rooftops. A myriad of weightless diamonds swirl in the bright sunlight, peeking from behind the staid behemoth of an office block directly in front of me. I’m in a bright conference room with grey carpet and white walls, six stories up in the city library. The view is a welcome dichotomy to the soulless box of a room abuzz with activity. Tables are being set up, small and thoughtful trinkets are set at each place for each participant. The waiting begins and the fidgeting increases.

I Never Saw This Coming
Life is so unpredictable. If you told me that life would have taken me on this journey I would have laughed in your face. I would have stared in your eyes, the dimples in my cheeks deeply exposed to your lyrical prose. Because life at that time was promising. I guess that's the thing with innocence.
