Free Therapy No. 12: Why Not Be content?
“The Tao gives rise to all forms, yet it has no form of its own. If you attempt to fix a picture of it in your mind, you will lose it. This is like pinning a butterfly: the husk is captured, but the flying is lost. Why not be content with simply experiencing it?” -Lao [...]
Or So it Seems … Graduates, Move Your Tassels
An old law-school adage says there’s three phases of your college career. First, they scare you to death. Next they work you to death, and finally they bore you to death. The graduation ceremony, a last gasp to pack some wisdom into your already full gullet, falls into the third category. Should commencement orations be [...]

Use It or Lose It … What’s in Your Marketing Tool Box?
Here’s the thing – I often meet with clients who tell me they already have a website, a Facebook page, a radio ad, a brochure – but none of its working!

Or So it Seems … Bug Warfare
Grandma squashed scorpions with her bare feet. But then, she was a Texan. Years ago, Mom said, we were visiting Grandma’s place, and I was sitting in Mom’s lap. She was dressing me and reached for my toddler-shoe when a scorpion crawled out. She flung it and the shoe across the room. And then she [...]
