Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
A couple weeks ago I was worried as I climbed onto the scale. Worried that my progress was going to take a step back. That turned out to be a very happy moment. The week that I feared reared its ugly head today. I'm not surprised, not by any stretch of the imagination. If you... Continue Reading →
I've decided to be happy about this week. With all the craziness in my life of an upcoming in person job interview (if you're wondering why I'm making such a big deal about this it's simple. This is a 3 day visit "interview". I'll meet with several individuals plus group meetings. It's a big deal... Continue Reading →
One of the the things that happen when you're thinking about a new job that requires a move is you start looking at all your "stuff". Specifically, you look at it and think "Do I REALLY want to pack all this crap and move it?" So I've been caught up in sorting, evaluating and deciding.... Continue Reading →
Sometimes taking a break is a good thing. You stay where you are, not moving forward, not moving back. You maintain, tread water, keep station. Take a little break.

Several phone interviews over the last week. I thought all of them went well. Looks like I have a least a couple follow up interviews too. Yay. Having said that I've already been notified that I won't a candidate for one of those positions as they move into their final phase. Always disappointing and I... Continue Reading →
Well crap. One of my issues with eating is "emotional eating". In times of stress I eat, poorly and almost constantly. Last week I had two big job interviews (both of which went very well I think) but it threw me into a bad pattern. This week's weigh in shows the price I paid. The... Continue Reading →
I'm willing to do the work to find my next job. What's frustrating me this week is the casual indifference that sometimes pops up at the other end of the equation. Let's start out by saying I have dealt with some truly outstanding people in the course of this search. People who have behaved both... Continue Reading →
I dance the dance of joy! Nothing like crashing through a barrier. Nothing subtle here, no just inching my way into the next level. We kicked butt and took names! I'm a little excited. After approaching but never getting past that milestone weight. In the end it was simply a matter of living up to... Continue Reading →
