Breathe upon Waking

Painting, Art, consciousness, professionalism, etc.  I was honored and delighted to speak with Brian Rutenberg. He's collected the low-country humidity and marshlands, and blended them with his New York city work ethic and charisma. What has resulted is some of the most vibrant and intriguing abstracted landscape paintings one can see. Please enjoy our talk, and thanks for stopping by.

A short talk on the dark side, and benefits of staying on the lighted path. 

Fitness is an interesting word with a lot of meanings...I try to define some of them here.  

Some thoughts surrounding parenting that I wrote down...and then spoke into a microphone.  Hope you enjoy...and hope you realize that this is just one man's thoughts, understanding that you may have your own way...a better way.  All the best. 

Tara helps families organized trips to Disney within her position as a 'Mouse Counselor'!  And her services don't cost you any extra.  She helped me plan my trip there a couple years ago, and it was very helpful.  If you're at all considering a trip to Disney...do yourself a favor and look her up!

David Elliott is the author of the new book titled, Voices: The Final Hours of Joan of Arc.  This is coming off of his take on brilliant myth of the minotaur called Bull, which...ehem...received 6 starred reviews!!!  What?  He's also written a number of other books, many of which I've enjoyed reading to my daughter.  

See him at Gibson's bookstore in Concord, NH on Friday, March 29 2019.

I am so very impressed and inspired by this woman!  She is obviously an amazing photographer...but there is so much more to her than that.  Shalla is fierce, tuned in, and has a special work ethic.  Hope you enjoy!

Had a great conversation with a well-known voice in NH.  Nazzy has been a staple in our community for some time.  He's got a really positive energy, and he's always giving back.  Nazz is a great radio DJ...and he has his own mobile DJ company.  If you are looking for one...hit him up!

It was really refreshing talking to Rene for this episode.  He is tuned in way more than I was at that age.  He's a recent college graduate, a high school basketball champion, and an articulate speaker to boot.  He has a great perspective to offer here!

Don't worry...there's time for that idea.  There's enough for everyone.  

The clock is ticking.  You will die.  You only have a certain amount of time left to do what you want to do.  Tic.  Toc.  

Just some exploration on what I believe...and what I don't.  It's an ongoing process.

A trivial choice will set you out on a path...choose wisely.
