I never really understood why some people sleep with or have the TV on while paying attention to another activity. So one day I asked someone. The answer was it makes me feel like I am not alone. Really? I said. So does everything boil down to peoples need to feel part of a group and feel accepted and understood?

How about you get rid of your TV to save some money on the cable bill and to be forced to look around and meet all the amazing people surrounding you?

Well said Larry. Let me recommend this article on my keynote speech at Atlas’s Europe Liberty Forum last week.

Thanks Larry!

A recent HBR article highlights the “LoneLiness” factor that is affecting millions and impacting their health and productivity. Get more social and not on the Tweet or Facebook or whatever. Get out and meet in person.

Being present with people for a long time is draining for introverts. Introverts are known about needing time to recharge and process. Each person has an electrical field that affects its surroundings, other humans and even electronics. I need my alone time to recharge and my prefered and best method for this is to go for a walk in nature. When that is unavailable for a long time I do my best to meet and talk to people, laugh and enjoy but I as they say all healing is done within. I am on an extended family visit which will end tomorrow. I spent the past 7 weeks at my parents house surrounded by family, often sharing a bed with my little sister who came over especially for me. We used to share a bed for 19 years. I spent a lot of time online reading because I like to read and because sitting around and listening to pointless conversations about local problems I know and can do nothing about could only be tolerate for so long. Going online is a way of communicating and a way of escaping, simmilar to sleep. Some people recharge while type away and discard weighing thoughts others go to sleep. In my case sleep requires quiet and lack of disturbances which is often a priviledge. I get worked up inside when my processes are disturbed and it takes time to realign. Still, it seems that people like my presence because I am constantly surrounded by them and they all seem to be doing well, except on the days when I am noticeably lost in thoughts or when the lights flicker, the phone starts acting on its own or when the computer and central heating controller I touched refuses to work. Yeiks … Finding an optimal balance depends on the surrounding and peoples understanding and tolerance. For example, I was born into a working class and my current surrounding, even though does their best to accept deep down do not understand my love of reading or writting, they think it is a pointless hard exercise. My love of walking is also tolerated but looked uppon as another odity.

Dear woods, I am on my way to thread and inhale the freedom once again …

I was reading ” The Secret ” years ago … didn’t make much sense at the time . Now, it sure does! Found….. I’m going to make it out! INVICTUS !

I ask myself, “ am I doing something different, or I’m I about to do the same as I always do?” There’s power in that! I’m now looking at things differently…understanding most things are already know… its not a HVA reinventing the wheel!

Life is a series of “nows.” Be present and make the most of every moment. That will help make each new now even better – for you and the ones you are helping.

I wish I would have mastered this way of thinking in my teens. The good news is I am now 🙂

The first time around the site my phone was not displaying the attached pictures. Visual stimulus is half the story, which makes me wonder if it is the eyes, the voice, the mind or the body that makes me the jumpiest. Or the fact that I know there are no coincidences and the little clues picked up here and there are too much to ignore.

What is a girl supposed to do when life makes her smile and want to run at the same time? Breath, Focus and Release while pealing on orange and absorbing the rays of the sun. Life is too short to constantly run. Exercise is good, reminders are healthy, fears are useful as long as they are valid and serving our benefit.

I am blessed to be a part of a team at a great company where I can do this!

Hey from the cellardwellers @ team Adirondack!

My favorite description of how I feel about work, just that. It’s not work. It’s love.

I once read “work with your hands and you will always be free!!”

I am pretty sure he was a carpenter who said this. Electricians too (lol) 🙂
