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…

Thursday Seeds | Clear the Board
Things that should be done nightly: Clear your desk and clear your computer desktop. Why? It keeps you more secure, no prying eyes on what you are working on until you are ready to discuss, divulge, collaborate, or mandate. It keeps assumptions down for the passers by who think they saw something but saw it wrong. This way you control your narrative: when it is looked upon, what the context is leading in, and how it would be perceived. Personal items in a negotiation situation can later be used as leverage. Think of the episode in Suits where the painting that makes the High character think of his mother and…

Thursday Seeds | Monkey Mind
I should do this. In the middle of doing this, I need to do that! What’s the laundry look like? Did that kid of mine lock the door? Is the coffee pot on? [insert other appliance that can take you down this road] You know this road? It’s the road that keeps you from what you most need to do: CALM DOWN! Not one person can tell you to calm down and you do it. It almost never works unless you’ve done the work. Did you forget that person’s name that you are about to introduce? Worse, did you say their name wrong? “Where’s Jeff?” “Oh you mean Jim?” Oops.…

Thursday Seeds | Feelings are Feelings
Do you know that feeling of someone that wants exclusive time with you? It’s nice. Do you know that feeling of some folks that want to exclude you from their time? Not nice. Maybe they included you before but don’t want to anymore. It begs the question why. Why would they exclude you? You did something they didn’t like. You were too loud, too sharing, too closed off, too pretty, too ugly, too petty, too not them… What’s your reaction to that? A feeling. There are opinions as to whether you were those things. There are opinions that it’s not even about you at all. …until it is. What are…

Thursday Seeds| Plants are people too!
Plants can be as good at being friends as any person. They love it when you talk and they don’t talk back. Sure there is science behind that. O2 versus CO2 and who needs what and who expels what. In the 70’s, it was “talk” to your plants to make them grow. But now most folks are aware of the science behind it. I’m betting that this is pretty important stuff when you are in the orbit of our plant on the international space station. And now, most sustainable gardens are known too. Guess why. They don’t stop talking about them! Ha! You must be a plant! Here’s the trick,…
