This is a shout-out to those interested in making the road trip to see Matt Kahn in Sarasota, FL on April 17-18. It’s part of a six-city tour over the course of the year, so if you’re not in Pensacola where I am, then by all means check the schedule for other parts of the country. These live events are […]
Hello, good folks 🙂 So we just talked about The Upgrade. Well, what happens when you take The Upgrade and just go nuts? We have The Purge! And that’s been me in 2020 so far. But I couldn’t be doing it without The Upgrade; that’s the key to everything. It’s the key for me, anyway, because I can be very […]
Hello, good folks. Today we’re going to talk about something that’s helped me – err, IS helping me – move beyond perfectionism. And it’s called The Upgrade. It falls totally in line with the ideas of do it just good enough, do it bad, do it wrong, just get started, etc. I guess I just like the word “upgrade” because […]
Hi folks. Our posts have gotten deep fast since I returned from my hiatus, so let’s cleanse the palate with some more normal, down-to-earth stuff. Here we go… So sometime last year, an old friend said he had recently caught himself reaching for his phone, opening it, looking at the screen, and then realizing he had no specific reason for […]
When I wrote about the guy in the social media post that apparently, hypothetically wasn’t paying his fair share for his daughter (So… Is This A “Guy Thing?”), I mentioned the term “spiritual bypass.” Let’s talk a bit more about that, because it’s really common these days in the spiritual world (and because I’ve done it a ton!). So what […]
Hello, good folks 🙂 What I’m about to do here is way out of the norm for me, for reasons that you’ll see. And I mean no harm to anyone, I really don’t. Not the normal beginning to these blog posts! No assumptions about anyone I don’t know, and no judgment whatsoever. Literally. This is all a big hypothetical “what […]
We’ve been talking lots so far about making changes. I laid it all out in a comprehensive post about “going dry.” Then I spelled out (much more briefly…) how that post is really about subtracting anything from your life that you’re ready to ditch, not just drinking. Then we talked about how the fast way to big change is actually […]
Recently, I wrote a short tome about Dry January and “going dry” in general. That was followed up with a brief post pointing out that it wasn’t only about subtracting alcohol from your life, it was actually about subtracting anything that is no longer serving you. I said that in a way, this information is a blueprint for transformation in […]
If you read the last post about “going dry,” great! If not, then this is a message for you. Because you’ll probably get a lot out of it. Why? Because the post is not just about drinking, not even close. It’s about the general process of subtraction, which means lessening or removing from our lives the things that are taking […]
Lots of people are doing “Dry January” these days, in which they don’t drink alcohol during the month of January. You might’ve heard of this, or maybe you’ve done it or tried it for yourself. There’s also “Sober October,” and maybe more. One friend of mine goes dry every February. He said it’s the shortest month, and if he can’t […]
