I’ve been home now for nearly two weeks, have caught up on most of the urgent things, and am now starting in on a very large pile of email.
If you wrote to me over the past few weeks and haven’t received an answer yet, I’ll be working on the email backlog for the next day [...]

So we’ve got another January coming upon us, ready to wipe this year’s slate more or less clean.
Remember just about a year ago, in the first days of the first month, remember how it felt? Like you had this vast mound of time lying before you, like a huge, un-molded lump of fresh clay? [...]

Christmas is nearly upon us, and instead of writing something myself, I thought I’d share with you the year-end words of a wonderful friend of mine, pianoman Clay Cotton.
Clay says:
Living, as I do, with late-stage, advanced multiple sclerosis, I pay special attention to the positive, uplifting & funny stuff in life, as I know u [...]

A while back, an Internet friend of mine, Ewen Chia has been doing a string of excellent interviews as part of a new online promotion.
But it was a bit of a surprise when I got an email from Ewen asking to do an interview with me. It was also an honor because I know he [...]

I apologize that I don’t have time right now to answer every email that I’ve received, but I am both amazed and humbled by all the notes wishing me well.
Until I have a chance to answer properly, just know that I deeply appreciate your kindness and concern.
Thank you so much.
And cheers from sunny [...]

I am sequestered in a very fine hospital, engaged in the time-consuming task of getting my health back.
I’m not complaining, mind you. Spending all these weeks getting well is preferable to sitting here getting worse.
That’s the way life is; sometimes an unexpected situation comes along and causes us to veer from our intended path. It [...]

I won’t go into great detail right now, but as soon as I’m healthy again and can return home fulltime, you’ll be hearing about three new tele-workshops.
WORKSHOP 1: ENERGIZING YOUR STALLED BUSINESS
This workshop is for you if you have started a business and it isn’t growing the way you want it to. You’ll learn [...]

I’m sitting here in the hospital, and perhaps because this is so far from my usual routine, I find my mind wandering into unaccustomed byways.
I see people all around me facing the uncertainty of declining health, surgery and massive medical bills.
I see them meeting their circumstances in various ways. Most are facing their unsettled [...]

There’s an old saying that suffering ennobles one.
I say that’s baloney.
I’ve known people who, when things went bad, complained and moaned. Everything was an occasion to groan and gripe.
No doubt you’ve known people like this, too. They spend years on end in bitterness.
In your best judgment, did those people seem noble?
The [...]

The other day, I stopped by my doctor’s to see why I was having funny heart rhythms and major shaky hands. He most unexpectedly found that my thyroid has gone all hyper…. sat me down in a wheelchair, ran me upstairs, and plonked me into a bed on the cardiac ward (I was having pretty [...]
