Life without Ritual (part 2)

Which brings me to "consistently inconsistent."

Quick story...
Brent Carlson, perhaps one of the most solid and reliable sales men I've worked with (now a Clear Channel Rep), once told me I talk in a triangle. I start here, then go up to some other area, down to another topic and back to the original subject or question. "It will all end up making sense, but I'm never sure what just happened," Brent once told me. I think I talk this way because of the amount of angles you can approach one subject from. I have gathered information from the thousands of novels, articles, dictionaries and conversations I've had and it makes me think in a dimension that isn't just a Q and A. Hard to explain, but with the advent of the Internet, maybe some of you can understand that we are no longer living in a linear definition of life. There is a plethora of opportunities and abilities.

I believe that a way to move forward with gusto, confidence and excitement is to look to a life without ritual. A life where things like separation of species, Nationalism, depletion and degeneration will come to an end not out of a basic understanding or a campaign fighting for what's needed, but an advancement on our integrated way of thinking, doing and even being.

We have the ability to integrate ideas, cultures, concepts into a way that is outside the bounds of time, yet inside the scope of that which is. There is a need to go past who is right, wrong and who did what, when. We are, we will be and it's our decision as to whether we stick to our perceived life paths or find ways to elevate our selves through an open exposure to the world around us.

In a life without ritual, it is possible to be new every day in some way...

Next up.... What does a day without ritual look/feel like?

Clearing out your spaces

For the last part of 2011, I suggest on my Facebook page and will duplicate the suggestion here, that you clean out your spaces. From offices to people, from thoughts to visualizations, it's time to clean up anything that stands between you and your goals for the future. 2012 is going to be monumental-where do you want to be? Head into that office space, tackle the filing cabinet and get an orderly system together so that you can be successful and calm while you complete tasls and meet goals. You will feel better and more focused if you know where your working items are and your space will be supportive of you meeting your goals and making it through obstacles. Put up an old fashioned calendar to keep you reminded of important dates and meeting times before they get there. Think of what you will need to succeed and contact anyone you could use for advice and mentoring. Your thoughts will create your reality and if there are any blank spaces or questions, use your social media or ...

I love Memorial Day (and leave the BBQ's alone)

I love memorial day. I didn't used to think of it much and I BBQ all the time, so I'm not too impressed with all those cartoons running around. I love memorial day because I get to officially remember people, many of whom I think about consistently but It wasn't always this way. Remembering can be hard and (in my opinion) paying tribute to those memories are an individual choice. I was living away from my family, in Arizona and married to an individual that didn't prefer me having any connections to people outside of him. My grandmothers both passed away in this time and I was unaware. My grandmother in Florida was an adorable little woman when I got to know her as a young kid. From my mom's stories, I know it wasn't always that way. Grandma Gron had to be tough to live through my grandpa and I promise you, tough is an understatement. She raised three children and my mother is of the best I have the pleasure of knowing or to know or know of. I remember and c...

Startup Weekend_One week later

It's been one week since the Startup Weekend in Salt Lake and I've had a bit of time to process the event, the outcome and my personal experiences with this phenomenal three day marathon. First, let me say that I heard of this event after complaining that Utah didn't have a lot of entrepreneurial type conferences. I take back some of what I said and have to admit, if a single event were to come to this state in lieu of all others, I'd be okay with Startup Weekend being that event. For those of you not familiar, this is a competition where people pitch ideas, research, plan and execute a group of start up businesses in a three day period. That said, here's more about the event- what I would do differently, some of my favorite aspects and what's happened since last Saturday. If I had it all to do over again, I'd do almost all of it different. I don't know if I've ever felt that way before, but it's true for Startup Weekend. For example, I would ha...
