Coming Out

It’s official.

I’ve come out.

Got the conversation started.

What?

Retirement.

A few weeks ago there was a spontaneous and brief conversation about retirement.

Recently, there was an official declaration.

So this is what it must feel like to come out of the closet.

Liberating. Invigorating. Exciting. Joyful.

Happy Birthday

All Time Favorite
All Time Favorite

Can you remember the day and time you were born?

Can you recall the circumstances?

Most births are routine and uncomplicated.

Most.

But not all.

I remember vividly, shortly before 9:17AM, August 12, 2000, how I was feeling.

Don’t take the girl. (wait patiently for the 15-second commercial to end before it starts)

Just To Be Clear

I Feel Your Pain
I Feel Your Pain

We’ve been talking about careers, resumes, LinkedIn, standing out in a crowd, etc.

It’s brutal isn’t it?

Trying to stand out.

Trying to move forward.

Imagine trying to pitch a book that you think will help make the world a better place.

Book publishers have never heard that before, right?
