How do you handle stress?

Stress - Deal with it? 

I was part of a discussion at work yesterday on how we should publicize our expertise. Not through direct marketing, but through social networking methods. Many people at the group suggested that they should start a blog. I personally think this is a bad idea, yeah ironic considering this post is COMING from a blog. The real issue here is not to create yet another blog that really has no purpose or reason for the world to come to (like this one) but rather there is a need to establish an online identity that will allow others to understand your perceived expertise. Then the obvious question is how do you gauge a person’s worth based on an online identity? First off, how do you create an online identity to being with? Continue reading

Keyla and I sat in awe at what we saw on PBS tonight.  I am at lost with words…

Make time and check out the Independent Lens edition of Banished.  On a side note, Independent Lens is by far the greatest series on TV today.  This is why PBS still makes sense regardless of the political angle and the onslaught of NPR.  Awareness is a sleepy state for most Americans.  It is comforting to know that there is still a vehicle to shake the comfortable sleepy state we live in and challenge us to think differently.

Thoughts poured in of how each circle reflects our own reality, from within or our surroundings, only to be invaded by others.

It seems, like this pattern, the more you try to be different, the more you are like everyone else. Freedom can be expressed as one who lives by comfortable rules. Because if you think about it, if you were not comfortable with the rules dictating your reality, you spend all your energy enacting change. That change migrates from one circle to another and soon, it will normalized to…. well another reality for which you may once again not be comfortable in. The true path is to find what gives you the most happiness within the circle that was already created for you. From there, you can now focus moving toward the center instead of moving away into other realms that is not of your own. Find happiness from within and strengthen your center. Others will be fond of your strengths. What is my strength and happiness? Dude, it is obvious! Mi Familia

It is obvious that I would recommend my builder. Continue reading
