I always knew the brain was very powerful, and last week I caught a glimpse of just how powerful my brain could be. It was wonderful…sort of.
I quickly learned that power is great, but unharnessed power can be dangerous. Without proper channeling and focus a runaway brain can be dangerous.
Here’s the Story
Last week [...]

Harnessing the Power of the Brain
Write It and Forget It
When it comes to writing for the web, I’ve taken on the mindset of write it and forget it. Unlike writing for print publications, the web provides immediate and permanent feedback in the form of comments.
Just about every online newspaper, content site and blog (of course), allow readers to voice their opinion about what [...]
It’s Your Baby
I subscribe to a newsletter put out by Alan Cohen. I first discovered Alan Cohen a couple of years ago when I read his book Relax into Wealth: How to get more by doing less (you should read it when you have a chance).
He doesn’t send out too many newsletters, but when he [...]
Here’s One for Working Smarter
As most of you know, I’m a statistics junkie (there, I admitted it). I’ve cut back on the amount of statistics I track because I found that stat tracking could be a full time job.
That being said, I inadvertently ran an experiment. The experiment solidified my belief that it’s so much better to [...]

Writing – The Mind/Body Connection
Last night I had the pleasure of attending parents’ night at my daughter’s school. It’s my annual chance to follow my daughter’s class schedule to undergo a condensed version of her day. I started out in her homeroom and then walked around the school going to all nine of her classes.
At the end [...]
August to August to August
Often times when I feel that I’m making slow progress, I have to take time to see where I came from to determine if I’m actually headed in the right direction.
One of the best ways for me to see if I’m headed in the right direction or if I should change my course is to [...]
Realizing Another Dream
This post might be a bit long, and I apologize up front for its length. Over this holiday weekend I had a few long talks with myself (I had similar talks when I was considering whether or not to quit my job and work full time as a freelance writer and similarly when I [...]

End of Summer Writing Goals
For some of us, this is the last week of summer vacation. Depending on where you live and how early school begins, some of you may already be entrenched in the back to school/back to work routine. Up here in the Northeast, these are the last two weeks of summer vacation, soon it [...]
