Sunday, September 6, 2026 : Meditative Rituals There are days when the mind seems determined to travel everywhere except here.

Do not read Mostly Harmless with a cocktail. Not even an espresso martini. Just drink the espresso: you’re going to need every available cylinder.

There is a particular kind of professional message that arrives before 8 a.m., before the coffee has finished doing its civic duty, and asks for a complete consulting proposal by the end of the week. It's Friday, September 4th. It is the end of the week. The request may be framed as a partnership. A … Continue reading A Referral Is Not a Retainer

It … Continue reading Peace Comes in a Bowl: The Joy of Kitchen Redemption

The honest version says some of us see an unexpected change coming and … Continue reading The Shielded Life: Boundaries Are an Operating System
Tuesday, September 1, 2026 There is a particular kind of scam that does not arrive looking chaotic. It arrives polished. It may have a company name, a professional website, confident language, attractive projections, and a person who speaks as though every outcome has already been guaranteed.

Monday, August 31, 2026 There is a particular kind of Monday that does not require an emergency. No dramatic reinvention. No aggressive declaration that this is the week everything changes.
