Thursday Seeds | Get Naked
Be careful who you share your details with. They might be listening. Same with ideas, especially if it’s a product idea or an idea that could change a business. Those should be share after the requirement of money, not just given away for free. Do you value your body? Do you value your ideas? Cover them and share them only with those that are trusted. There is the public self and the private self. Bad things happen when the private self gets so public that assumptions can be made.

This is a post for those of us that rarely ask for what we need. It feels uncomfortable and awkward to say the least. It feels like whining and weakness. And so, we just suffer through.

I love my cats. These Kat Kats get impatient if I don’t make the motions of getting their goodies. And they have me trained too. I can either get to the door where the food is, or I can get to the door where the food is faster. Otherwise they are on me. The “don’t forget” neon sign is on them pretty quickly and I am herded to the right place in the house: the kitchen. The animals that know when you need them. Here’s to them.

Thursday Seeds | lay down the letters
“It’s all in how you lay down the letters.” You are playing board games with your date. It’s winter, the fire is on, coffee is on the table with this scrabble board. He is a fanatic about board games and impressed that you own a board from all the way back to the 90’s. You have how many words down on the board unchallenged? He has just as many. The game is getting cutthroat. He places this word on the board: QUEAN You look at him with hesitancy… Did he mean to? He nods his head slowly. “You want to have me look it up for you? It’ll cost you…
