The Complete Self

For the last several years my wife and I have struggled with syncing our calendars – especially when scheduling appointments for each other. This is mostly one-way with Fiona scheduling things for me – aka hair cut, doctor, chiropractor, kid’s going to doctor, etc.

I found by designating two hours a week for Fiona to freely schedule whatever she needs me to do works amazingly well. For me it is Monday at noon and Wednesday at 3:30. So whatever she needs to schedule for me she doesn’t have to check – if I am in town I’m available for HER those times.

This creek bed had never been crossed before. It had remained un-mowed and untouched until this day. This video is of my third crossing. The first time I thought of it I walked up to the ravine and checked it out and measured the risk. I was willing to take a risk if I wasn’t “risky” about it. There is a difference. I decided to go for it and I almost went over the handlebars the first time. I got such a rush out of it that I did it again – this time I almost fell off the side when I hit the rock at the bottom.

I have several songs rolling around in my head. It seems that every week I have another one that pops in there – most I just discard or forget. It is only the catchy ones that stick. If I am the songwriter and I can’t get them to even stick in my head, how much harder it could be for someone else.

We all see things from time to time that stir us. Things that reveal a deeper side of life. They call to honor, and service. I’ve always looked up to those individuals who live by a higher standard and daily challenge themselves to live by a code and to live by integrity, no matter what the cost.

Shortly after getting married, I stopped doing this and it has never bothered me since. But, since I am looking for a challenge, I decided to do this for the next 30 days. note: I am really tired here!

Okay, So you have seen Tim Ferriss peel a hard boiled egg without “peeling” it. I think this method is actually faster and it only takes one hand to “peel” it. Check it out and comment below. Two Tips***

My daughter learns the value of recycling.

I usually like to have everything perfect, but I am slowly learning that perfect never happens. So – this one is outside the studio, raw and unaffected. There is a video here on how Ben and I wrote the song during his lunch break.
