Failure sucks but it is not always a bad thing.
As far back as I can remember, I thought about death. I remember as a teenager, there was once a disagreement in the house, and I yelled, this is stupid, you can’t leave mad, what if I walked outside, tripped on the curb, and broke my head open, how would you feel? Okay, maybe I…

Not every loss is detrimental. Not every loss requires you to rebrand yourself. Gather yourself and try again. You don’t need to lose apart of you to succeed. Neither do you have to add things that are unnecessary. You need know when you are enough.
Getting software developers to talk to one another is not always an easy task. Many developers are introverts who would rather stay in their caves alone (or with one trusted friend) than attend meetings. But collaboration is the linchpin in…

Slow down.
Take an intentional walk to nowhere. Pay attention to the details you normally overlook. The sights. The sounds. Most importantly the people.

I’ve still only dipped my toes in, but every day I see more benefits from exploring my creative side and meeting inspiring people who have done the same — both inside and…

If I wanted to sound hipper than I actually am, I’d tell you that Anne Lamott is my “spirit animal.” But at my age, I’m probably not cool enough to use terms like that. So instead, I’ll just say that Anne Lamott makes my world a better place…

Before you cook beans you go through a selection process in which all the seemingly bad beans are thrown away so only the good ones remain for cooking. However, when rain comes, the bad beans you threw away in the backyard become seeds. They germinate and grow into beautiful crops, with luscious leaves. From them, come plenty of bean seeds and the…

You bring great talent to the days, just as surely as great doubt.
You are fascinating. There is a refreshing honesty and vulnerability that shoots off of you. It’s not like anything I’ve ever seen. You read and write and express and share with such an openness and genuine appreciation for life. It’s such a contrast to the darkness that all of us feel so often while just existing. I’m personally sad when I see…
