The radio show is today, I'm not sure if I'm going to guesting or not today, but it's always fun anyway. If you want to listen in, go to Reputation Radio and mouse over the "chat Room" and click on "Live Radio & Podcast Shows" to activate the player (another way is to click here, but I'm not guaranteeing how long this back-door will work). Join us in the chat room to make it completely fun!
Had a bit of a headache the last couple of days, I would love to say it is a hangover, but I have not drunk or smoked anything to give me such an issue. Feels more like a stress headache anyway, I think I'm still de-stressing from all the changes lately.
It's a beautiful day in SoCal today and I am looking forward to going to the gym later...
Need to get back to writing "10 Secrets to the Secret" and getting ready for Session 3 this coming Monday at "The Spot" at 4455 Overland Ave, Culver City, CA.

A rambling on age...
What an interesting time to be alive and reasonably young and healthy. OK, it's my birthday and I am fixating a touch on it and my age.
A friend this morning said that we actually have several ages to which I come out as follows:
I remember 20 years ago, does not seem that long ago, that my friends were tormenting me about being a "quarter-century old" and I thought they were nuts and now I am starting to push the next quarter. I never did understand the fixation with age.
Considering how much grief I have put this body through over the years, I aam impressed with how well it is handling the wear and tear. I never thought I would make it to 18 and to have made 45 was inconceivable until a few years ago.
I am beginning to understand the comment that youth is wasted on the young though. I think that is as much the fault of the progenitors as it is the young. What stresses were the young put under and is it really that big of a surprise that they would spend a lot of it in sometimes questionable ways? We taught them to fear and to be ashamed of what they are and we wonder why they rebel? Just how blind are we to the reactions to our actions?
Age is about a measurement of time in this particular classroom called life and doesn't really mean much unless you want it to. I think I will just ignore it for a bit longer, say 400 years and see how I feel then.

This has been a VERY strange week of sorts.
I am down to 10 days till the end of the job and I still feel jazzed about it most of the time. I have the occasional moment of doubt, but who wouldn't? It passes and those moments are few and far between.
Last Thursday was stranger than usual, I was at work and my manager said that she and the GM needed to have a talk with me later in the afternoon, say around 4 to 4:30. No problem... Then SHE shows up, the dreaded HR lady that has a reputation of not coming down from on high, aka corporate, unless a head is about to roll.
I thought I was going to be getting out of the job 2 weeks early, but it was for someone else, I was spared. Gotta suck big time to be fired on April Fools.
They still have not replaced me, I hope the do so soon. I will feel awful if I leave them shorthanded, but I gave them 60 days notice, what more could they want?
Busy day tomorrow, breakfast meeting for more details on Club Inspire U and I'm going to scream my bloody head off if the site isn't up soon. I know the designer has been having difficulties with his servers, but we are less than 2 weeks from out premier and I still see the "Coming Soon" page I put up. ARGH!
I have a phone session at 10:30 and then I have to go to West Hollywood for another meeting with a friend about marketing ideas. I feel so official, I'm going to be marketed... Gads!
While I'm there, WeHo, I'm going to stop by and see if M is at work and if so, muster up the courage to ask him out on a date. I'm more afraid of that then being self-employed in this economy, now just what does that tell you?
Night!

Things are getting more and more interesting.
Work is good and I'm actually enjoying it, likely because I know it is not for much longer. I really need to figure a way of bottling that and mass marketing it, I would make a fortune from pleased employers, I am not so sure about the staff...
Down to 17 more days and then it all begins... I'm nervous but thrilled as well.
People and resources are starting to come out of the woodwork, it is both fascinating and a touch creepy, but I guess that is how I like to manifest. I also have a networking group that I think that I will be checking out Friday before work. Not sure how I am going to make that work, network then gym then work -- busy morning.
Club Inspire U is coming along as well, K tells me there is some more news and he seems thrilled about it, not likely to get much out of him tomorrow as his brother is leaving Wednesday for home and the whole crowd will be at breakfast. I know the graphic designer is having computer problems, but I wish the new site would get up. (whine whine)
I want to get some writing done this week as well as everything else. I have not had time to sit and write. OK that is not exactly true, I have had time but not made use of it, I have fixed the bike and a few other minor projects as well as trying to get some relaxation.
Speaking of relaxation, I have the feeling that I may not get much for a while after the 15th. Things outside of work have been getting faster and faster, usually a sign that rest is not in the forecast.
Actually, that is one of the things I am most concerned about. I will HAVE to keep an eye on time management and not over-extending myself. On top of that I have to keep myself focused enough to get the job done without the boundaries of a set work schedule. That is always the hardest thing for me when I make this transition. To much and I burn myself out VERY quickly and too little and nothing gets accomplished.
I called GH today, left a message but the outgoing sounded like he may be using that number for his business line, well, either way I will likely hear from him tomorrow or the next day.
I got a call yesterday from my Landmark Forum in Action leader, he is so awesome, he is calling to help me with my need to "engage and enroll" and my difficulties in this area. I think it is cool that he is willing to work with me on this outside of the usual class times. He has his one-man show coming up on Sunday, April 4th, I would like to go but I don't think I can get out early or a ride up to the Theater, but I will see...
Well, I am getting ready to finish work and go to the gym for a good workout and a good night's sleep.

Good day today!
Went to my Tuesday breakfast, got a haircut, worshiped the Sun God and he blessed me with some color then went to the gym for a good workout.
Then I ended up in NoHo to pick up posters and canvass to distribute fliers around my old neighborhood.
Also finally determined why nobody seems to have gotten the newsletter, so I both fixed it and decided it is officially the Marpril issue and will put the next issue out in May.
Now I'm going to bed so I can get up and do my usual Wednesday volunteer thing and a second dose in the evening to help out on the "special night".

I have been SO bad with keeping up on my journal, sorry about that, but I have been insanely busy. Not an excuse, but true...
I am down to less than a month before I leave my job and officially go into business full-time as Spiritgeek.com. The closer that D-day gets, the happier I am that I have made the right decision.
Kris and I are also working on the premier night of Club Inspire U on April 17th at the Cobra Club in North Hollywood. I'm beginning to learn an awful lot about promotions from a friend who has been VERY helpful with tips and suggestions.
I haven't made it to the gym as often as I should and that's not good. I have been going in so many directions. I'm going to find some time and go tomorrow one way or another.
Had a call from a company that wants me to carry their product line, not sure yet, but they did give me a sample of one of the products and I have been quite pleased so far. They are called Sidda Tech and I am trying their "Detox"... I'm only a couple of uses into it but I have been impressed so far. If you go to the site, put in the coupon code "SG0310" for $5.00 off your purchase.
Going to bed now, it's been a LONG day and I am tired. I have another long couple of days coming up as well, guess it's true what they say, "There is no rest for the wicked."

Great day today...
Had a wonderful meditation this morning and work was pretty good, it's still work but it wasn't terrible. The only thing I wish had happened differently is one of the drivers spilled the beans on my leaving, nice guy but as subtle as nuclear blast...
I realized that work can no longer bother me any more than I choose to let it. It is work, something I do that pays me (weakly) for my time. In about 42 days it will cease to be "my" problem completely. Why make it more than that?
Went to class tonight and had a wonderful insight into the difference between helping someone and creating a possibility in their lives. It took a while, but I realized that it was the same as "Give a man a fish and you feed him for the day, teach him to fish and you feed him (and then some) for a lifetime."
I was definitely tired last night, I was in bed no later than 19:15 and slept till 08:00 this morning. Now THAT is tired...
