Yes, it is both sad and true. It has been over 3 months since my last post and by my count almost 6 since I posted anything of substance.

So what does that mean for my 5 whole full-time readers? – Well, in a nutshell, I suck…What it really means, other than that, is that I have been in some SERIOUS transition.

I have separated from the company for which I was building marketing efforts and product lines. There was just too much of me going in and not enough of me coming out at the end of the day. I had a hard time separating my personal goals from the company goals. This is good and fine if all … Click to Continue →

In previous posts I have  discussed the difference between being a farmer and a fisherman. The gist is that a farmer must have more resources and time than a fisherman.

To quote myself (one must really have a large ego to use themselves as a reference. ;-p )

This rant was triggered by an episode of self loathing a friend went through. (better known as the “why doesn’t so-and-so love me” or “Will I ever find anyone who REALLY loves me?”)

I give the same advice to everyone, and sometimes what I have to say is NOT PRETTY but always true.

Brass Tax: If you aren’t “Loved” its because you aren’t Loving.

Putting yourself “out there” is more than dressing up and playing let’s make a deal in the dating scene. You have to be willing to show love unconditionally. Heck most people can’t even CARE unconditionally. This doesn’t mean be blind to glaring faults and it CERTAINLY does NOT mean go have sex with bunches of people … Click to Continue →
