Creating Chemistry

by

parrot friends
Can we talk about . . .

chemistry?

I think six degrees of separation really should be many paths of connection.

Every person connects to the next one. Every person I meet connects to you and to me. Each person brings a path to what we all have in common. Those paths connect us in network of humanity. Every path goes to who we’ve been and who we might be.

I look for high roads we’ve strayed from and backyards where we chase clouds and stars. I see weight of crowds with heavy loads that need setting down. It’s hard not to respond to one person’s journey. Every journey is about how alike we all are.

Humanity is brains and hearts seeking each other out. One human thought, one human feeling jumps a synapse of air to bridge the gap between two human beings. We call that chemistry.

I can’t help but wonder . . . if we valued our paths more, could we create more positive chemistry?

The Mic Is On: It's About "Past Lifes" — 5 yrs. 10 yrs. 199 yrs. ago!

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

That’s Right . . . 5 yrs., 10 yrs., or maybe 199 yrs. ago!

Here’s a few ideas to get us started:

  • What did we do in a past life?
  • What did we wear?
  • Where did we go?
  • What did we think was fun?
  • How was our hair?
  • What transportation was cool?
  • What slang did we use?

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring links about who who you used to be!

Free Report: Learn Why Teaching Sells

An Invitation

Teaching Sells

This week I received an invitation from Brian Clark. Did I want to tell you about what he and Tony D. Clark are releasing?

Brian got this teacher’s attention as soon as I read, “Teaching Sells.” I thought, “Oh, he’s picked a tough crowd for this one. This teacher sure hopes it’s good.”

I sent questions. I pictured Brian shaking his head, thinking what a pain I am. He didn’t need questions like “What pedagogy are you basing this on?” But he got a list of them anyway.

The cool thing is I got answers in almost no time. And I couldn’t find anything to poke holes in. What I found was information on . . .

  • the best uses for your blog
  • avoiding the “working for Google” trap
  • why being “not normal” is an advantage
  • how to make money sharing what you already know

. . . more than that. Oh and, the teaching model (pedagogy) they’ve chosen is a good one. The opportunity to make more money online is one that works for almost any entrepreneur.

So, I’m happy to link you to

Free Report: Teaching Sells

The Million-Dollar Imagination

by

I've been thinking . . .

a million dollars.

I’ve been imagining that I have a cool million in the bank — well, intelligently invested. It’s out there somewhere doing whatever a million does when it’s working it’s numbers off. It’s somewhere to the right of me, taken care of.

I’ve been watching how a secret million-dollar investment might change me.

em>How would I approach this situation, if I had a cool million I could count on?

Here’s what I see.

My answer is more confident, less needy. I know where I stand. Somehow that million takes away the “I need to . . . ” and turns into “The best choice is . . . ”

It’s relaxing. It’s also attractive. People have been responding. I have too.

My imagined investment brought a greater return on reality than I had imagined.

I like that that thought, that sentence, that beautiful oxymoron.

Imagine a cool million. How might your re-imagine change your reality?
