See-thru Purple Panties.
Not only are they transparent, but they are embarrassing. It’s not just unadorned nakedness, it’s a type of nakedness that’s deliberate and unabashed. It begs to be seen, it calls attention to your most vulnerable self, and says, Yes, this is me. You know you want me.
Wearing see-thru purple panties will either make someone hot or disgust them. And you’re...

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” - Buckminster Fuller
Fuller was, among many other interests, a systems theorist. When he said you have to make parts of a system obsolete to change anything he was talking about social change, and perhaps market changes.
You can’t just kill the Big...

This is a note to self. I’m pretty good at not apologizing for who and what I am, but this whole energy work thing got my panties in a bunch.
Half of my friends think energy work is obvious. A fact of nature, and of life. The other half unsubscribed from my e-mail list after the essay went out. That’s okay.
Jenny Bones linked me to a discussion that I really needed to see between Susan...

I recently came out of the closet (to the internet) as an energy healer. To celebrate, I’m doing a tour of the lower half of the US to spread the love. I’m traveling throughout the month of June and into early July (keep reading for a list of cities and dates). I’ve already booked several breakthrough sessions, and I want to book more.

Here’s how to know if you...

I used to live in a cozy, three bedroom bungalow. It didn’t look like much, but the size was acceptable. And even though it wasn’t mine, it felt homey, if temporary.
I moved out of that house when I was 21 and I took my teenage brother and sister in. I already had two children of my own, and the bungalow couldn’t fit all six of us. That’s why I bought a giant old house with 6...

If you live in the fantasy that life will start once you are no longer afraid, you will be playing the waiting game forever.
That’s a quote from the beautiful and brainy Dr. Brenner of A Flourishing Life. She touches on a hugely important point in a recent post: fear isn’t conquered by forcing yourself to stop feeling it, then getting on with your life. Fear is conquered by feeling it, looking...

I could brand myself as a business blog and I’d be credible since my retirement story is the the kind of thing that the blogosphere loves to jerk off to. I could talk about technology like I did when I was Ken Sharpe. I could talk about cognitive biases, or philosophy. The list continues.
I’m not comfortable branding myself in any of those ways. I keep revisiting my about page because it causes...

Summary: To achieve an outcome, you have to take action, and that action should be your goal. You can’t directly choose an outcome, but you can always choose to take action.
Jason wanted to lose 20lbs. His “goal” was to lose 1.5lbs per week, and he started by just doing “a little” more exercise and “trying to eat better.” He started strong, with a big push of...

The ability to deliberately manipulate the way our own minds work and the degree to which they work is maybe what separates us from other animals. That’s the reason our ineffective, pornographic education system wrankles me the way it does.
But that’s not the only reason I’m sharing this excellent video of Ken Robinson’s talk about education.
The real reason is that his way of...
