It’s your body talking. It’s been a while. I was beginning to wonder if you even remember me.

Episode 065: Life Happens. Sing Anyway.
Life happens. When we’re the least prepared. Whether we like it or not. We’re going along, and BAM! Something unexpected. That knocks us off our feet. The breath out of us. Sometimes it even changes us. Cause us to shrink inside. Make ourselves smaller to try and dodge the next blow. I’ve learned the hard way that when I protect myself I experience two losses – the original one and the loss of myself. I’m learning to sing my own song, and let that song weave around all of my life. Even the painful parts. I invite you to lift your voice and sing your own song with faith and hope.

When I was a kid, my dad was really into photography. He even had a darkroom for a while. The cameras were all manual then, so you could really learn about how different settings changed the picture.

And one that made a big difference was the depth of field.
Episode 063 – How to Go Deep (and we’re not talking about submarines)
If you do what everyone else does, you’ll end up like…everyone else. As Andy Andrews says, if you want to be different, you need to act different. Be an Original. What does it take to pull that off? Deep work. On today’s episode, I go deep on Cal Newport’s book called “Deep Work”, and share some observations of my own.

That thing you do that makes you feel good in the moment, and then doesn’t satisfy. Leaves you stuck. Lonely. Or angry with yourself. That thing you think explains your actions, puts them into a story you’ve told yourself more than once. That story that sounds good until you realize it rings hollow and empty.
