6.038 When no one is looking but me

by | Apr 14, 2026

The question is not “What do you do when no one is looking?” The question is “What do you do when you are the only one who is looking?” What do you do when you are the only one who sees you? What do you do when the only source of feedback is...

6.037 Growth

by | Apr 13, 2026

Growth requires some discomfort, so it’s said. However, when do we know if the discomfort we are feeling is contributive to growth or if it is harmful to us. On the flip side, when we choose something that feels comfortable, are we honoring our self or...

6.036 Direction

by | Apr 12, 2026

One Thursday last month, I plugged the address of a Thai restaurant into Google Maps to pick up lunch. The restaurant is a few towns over and while I had gone a few times before, I only knew directionally where I was heading. When the GPS directed me in a completely...

6.035 A year here

6.030 Pointing fingers

by | Feb 4, 2026

Yesterday, I set the recording for the Pro Bowl and thought I had extended it by 30 minutes after the scheduled end time just in case it took longer. When the kids learned that the last five minutes were missing, I immediately blamed myself, against the backdrop of...

6.029 Pondering stillness

by | Feb 3, 2026

Stillness is a luxury and action is an expectation. I wonder if it has always been that way. The privileged get to be still. They get to practice indulgence rather than productivity.While others must create, produce, and move in order to keep the cogs in the wheel...
