“Living with Intention (Intention: Part 1)” now on BizCatalyst360

Sometimes things get away from me.

Case in point, the kind folks at BizCatalyst360 published my Intention, Part 1 back in late Feb ’23 and I forgot to mention it here.

I’d offer “I’ve been busy” and while true it’s…well, not exactly an excuse, more a demonstration of prioritizing – which I suggest people do in order to maintain clear thinking if not their sanity.

Sometimes I have so many priority lists on my desk I have to prioritize my priority lists.

Oh, but the sense of satisfaction when I do so and tasks begin falling away, a bright shiny check right beside them.

So I ask your indulgence.

Give me a moment to check this box.

And please take a look at Intention, Part 1 on BizCatalyst360.

And thanks.

 
Enjoy!

“Steam” now on James Gunn’s AdAstra

Some stories take arduous paths to publication.

Seems to be a pattern with mine.

Steam came about because I took part in a steampunk con and learned most of the books were “Tour of Wonders” stories – the author worked harder to share interesting technology than they did to develop interesting characters. In some cases it seemed the characters’ presence in the story served as talking heads to explain the technology rather than have some experience in which the technology played a part.

“…interesting characters in interesting situations doing interesting things…”

 
Not my kind of story. Show me interesting characters in interesting situations doing interesting things and I’m hooked. Anything else and I’m not going to go much beyond the first page (if that far).

You can read Steam‘s full story at Steam here on this blog.

Or you can get to the published story on James Gunn’s AdAstra’s Steam.

 

“The Walking Meditation” now on BizCatalyst360

I previously offered The Solitaire Meditation on BizCatalyst360 and this week my The Walking Meditation, the next in a series on making one’s life and others’ lives better, is shared

In this case, a short piece about appreciating paying attention to the obvious and learning by doing so.

 
Enjoy!

“Whispers” now in Carmina Magazine

How many times do I have to tell people I’m not a poet?

The heck with it. If people want to publish my poetry, so be it.

And wouldn’t you know, that’s just what Carmina magazine did with my Whispers poem.

And many thanks to Irene @irenejosefsen Josefsen for telling me to quit lying to people and own the fact I write poetry.

Some of which gets published.

 
Enjoy!

“The Solitaire Meditation” now on BizCatalyst360

I previously offered Eliana’s GiveAway on BizCatalyst360 and this week those kind and gracious folks are sharing my The Solitaire Meditation, the next in a series on making one’s life and others’ lives better.

In this case, a short piece about appreciating what’s around you, about giving yourself a moment to acknowledge what’s around you.

 
Enjoy!
