Often the first (and sometimes greatest) challenge to Accessing Our Intuition is that there are so many other voices competing for airtime. Usually, they are loud and overconfident, demanding that we not only pay attention, but also follow their strong suggestions. I cannot help but be reminded of th...

I’ve never actually made an official list but I definitely have a sense of what would be on it. Namely, I could easily bullet point multiple activities I’m convinced I’d be quite good at despite technically never actually having done any of them. Take, for example, surfing. All the years of yoga h...

It’s not essential to the story but it’ll be helpful if you understand I’m writing about the cutest 6 year-old ever. This is definitely augmented by Jesse’s often wearingSpiderman costumes and that––although he initially seemed confused by the name “Vlad”–he totally loves my dog. During the sch...

Invite HERE I was surprised that I was surprised. It seemed like an easy enough question. And yet I found myself unexpectedly at a loss for an answer. You see, I recently enrolled in a very high-end marketing program. Each month there’s a group call entitled “Needs & Leads.” Since I’m...

The first time it happened, the situation seemed innocent enough. But since it happened again last weekend, I now detect a pattern. It begins with an effortless experience. Namely, reserving an Uber to get to a venue, in this case for a mountaintop wedding. In fact, our driver arrived five minu...

Sometimes noise-canceling headphones are not enough. Especially when the asking is loud and clear, it can cut through anything. You see, although 95% of the time Vlad drops the ball directly in front of his chosen candidate for fetch, occasionally he will approach from behind. He always gives his ...
