Thursday Seeds | Ship it
Iām having a little difficulty getting my thoughts down on paper. Itās all wordy, the concepts make me cringe, and the idioms will not go away. I know that itās just a phase and that Iāll come out of it stronger. It even reminds me of past times when this has happened. I know what to do. Iāll reach for a book that reminds me to play hurt and Iāll keep with the practice of another book. I think I know what happened. This is about my own leveling up and owning up to what needs to happen next. I canāt sit and believe the things that others tell me.…

Thursday Seeds | Give to the Fake
The object of artifice? Itās to sell something with a frame or narrative. Itās not a lie exactly, itās the truth cloaked. Itās usually for a purpose and the best artifice is fiction story. You can tell the truth, the naked truth in fiction and folks will be ok with it. The naked truth as truth, itās not well received. The fake news and who will believe it? Are you a consumer? (We all are to some degree) But do you only take it in and never use it for benefit? Is it something you gossip about? Well meaning of course. What if itās about you? And you KNOW itās…

Thursday Seeds |Ā Chat bots and your privacy
It only takes one share of your cellphone numberā¦ There are folks out there you have to be careful of. They have basic names and they wish you to remember – Things that never happened. Time to block. Do you recognize the phone no? Did you google the area code? What about the full number? Sometimes they are reported as spammers. NEVER give out your personal info. In this message, no confirmation of name is given on my part. Should I have even responded? Maybe not. This could have been someone contacting for a legitimate reason. I chose to engage. No one should have these, but here we are, the…

Thursday Seeds | Candy
10-30-24 Candy. Iāll need it for tomorrow And Honoring loved ones that have gone before. Even if they are all on the other side, they still help you with what they have gone through. Even if you donāt even know what their stories were. Maybe you know the location or the year of birth and marriage. But the day to day could be hidden in the details and get so very similar to your own. Some rail against life being so similar. There are some of us that think that life should be evolving, changing into something better at each iteration or generation. And are we? If we measure history,…

Thursday Seeds | Remember the Schedule
Meditation practice is about refraining from the monkey mind thoughts, that sometimes are not even your own, to come back to what is called the present moment. They could be Ā things that you should be doing, the things that you did that you could have done better, the cat in the other room that needs to stop clawing up the couch, etc.Ā The idea is to let go of all the other things, concentrate on what is right here, right now. This moment only.Ā In keeping a schedule, it is a similar practice though not exactly the same. There are time points in the day, we call them appointments, that…

Thursday Seeds | Find Your Marigold
The subject of marigolds lends the question of are you a gardener. In the gardening world, Marigolds are just that, gold. They help in the garden immensely in specific ways. There are specific bugs and creatures that are repelled and attracted to this plant. The ābadā bugs are attracted to it so it saves other plants from infestation. Squirrels like to eat it. Iāve watched squirrels pull the blooms off in their hands and eat them like they were a delicacy and not the prevalent flower in the garden that they are. And as fond as they are of them, deer donāt care for them. If you are looking to…

Duck, duck, duck,ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦GOOSE!!! Did you play it as a kid? Did you play it with your kids? The goose is good. It means there is a chase! There is movement and the anticipation is over. There is even the potential for another round if the game AND another goose! The goose doesnāt get cooked in this game. The goose does get some exercise. This goose loves water. Good food lives on the water and so does goosey type friends. And while air is important for wing stretching, all the other elements are needed too. The golden goose loves the sun but also understands the need for rainy days and cloudy…

Thursday Seeds| Beast of Burden
Beast of Burden. First thought? The Rolling Stones. Definition of it? An animal used for carrying loads. Load carrying/bearing walls cannot be knocked down if you want to keep the integrity of the structure. If we got back to the lyrics of the song by the Rolling stones, itās about not looking co-dependently for another to carry your load. You can carry your own pack. Donāt want to kill yourself? Pack light. Lighten the load! If you are a pack rat, this isnāt a simple thing to do. If you havenāt done your homework, you could take out a load bearing wall which could take your progress back to the…

Thursday Seeds | Get Naked
Be careful who you share your details with. They might be listening. Same with ideas, especially if itās 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. Misunderstandings create the drama, not the good drama, but the bad. And so when someone says, āI see what you are…
