Thanks Mr. LaRussa! From a Chicago Sock
by David Alan Brantford Pitchers Dennis Lamp, Floyd Bannister, and Cy Young winner LaMar Hoyt. Fielders Harold Baines, Ron Kittle, and Tom Paciorek. Designated hitter Greg “The Bull” Luzinski. And to wrap it up, the penultimate catcher, Carlton “Pudge” Fisk. These men were just the core of my favorite baseball team roster, the 1983 American League West Championship-winning Chicago White Sox. The White Sox...
Does Your Customer Service Live Up to Your Marketing?
My wife Mary bought a baby carrier the year Alexander was born: 2004. It’s the kind that lets you wear your baby (or toddler) hands free on your body when you walk around. The carrier was retired from use last year after our then 3 year old, Miranda, outgrew it. It lasted through two […]
What am I waiting for?
by Chris Gilwee Perhaps a gift. Something given, not earned. Maybe an option that is less scary. Easy. Someone who can magically take me back in time and change the way that I was treated; and a blessing from God Himself, so that I may decipher the hidden meaning in my Mother’s words. “I love you so much that I can’t bare to see you fail; so I verbally abuse you to make you tough for this world”. I am waiting...

Why the BLEEP Doesn’t The Secret Work for Me?
Three Keys for Manifesting a Rich Life by Tom Lietaert So why am I only now writing about The Secret? It’s passé, blasé, already been analyzed and criticized. The Secret has sold over 19 million copies and is still going strong, and Rhonda Byrne’s new book, The Power, soared to Amazon’s top five the first week out. While old news for many of us, it still seems to have strong appeal. This makes sense given our quick fix culture, and as...
EVOLVING SYSTEMS: What role do you occupy?
by Jonathan Gilburg – reprinted with permission from Gilburg Leadership Incorporated So my dad, Alan Gilburg, went down to “Occupy Wall Street” last week to “Support those kids.” As he has often done in my life, he got me thinking about what was happening with this Movement. I believe we are witnessing an important shift between an older, dying system and a new, yet to be fully defined system. What brings...
Becoming Aware of King Energy
Each of us is the sovereign in our lives. We are the queen or king we have been waiting for. And often, it may feel like the throne is headless, or at least on autopilot, acting this way or that, … Continue reading →

Steve Jobs and the seven rules of success
Forwarded by BC Freeman 1. Do what you love. Jobs once said, “People with passion can change the world for the better.” Asked about the advice he would offer would-be entrepreneurs, he said, “I’d get a job as a busboy or something until I figured out what I was really passionate about.” That’s how much it meant to him. Passion is everything. 2. Put a dent in the universe. Jobs believed in the power...
PST/OC
Down here in Orange Country, where we have come for a week away from the city, there are a good number of don’t miss shows — including the one we saw yesterday at the Orange County Museum of Art.
The Ghost Writer
Known to US audiences as The Ghost Writer, the perhaps slightly misleadingly UK-titled The Ghost appeared on screens across the UK in April last year to pretty mixed reviews. Recently, it was given a new lease of life as part of the new Orange Thursdays offer, which lets customers download a film from iTunes every […]
Exploring the Noble Man with Celebration of Being
This last month has been intense. I have done some sort of workshop every weekend. Powerful experiences each and every one of them. I finally have some downtime to integrate and feel what has happened. So far, it’s a bit of a blur. Though I feel clear that a lot has shifted inside of me. […]

Initiation rites for boys
Hi Men, A mother and friend expressed in the comments of my blog post “The terror of young men” pain over a lack of programs, rites and rituals for boys. Many mothers of boys in this world – especially single mums – wish for programs like these. Now, I know these exist, but I haven’t […]
You are the story of my life
by Pedro Serrano I opened the old diary at random. “I punched myself awake this morning.” It was in 1997, I’d had a nightmare. This was a time when fighting for your life during a zombie apocalypse wasn’t something you trained for on a regular basis. “I have to wake up!” I thought. My back against a wall, I come up with an idea. In my dream, as hard as I could I punched myself in the head. I opened...
The Crazy Ones
Patricia Classon, EQ coach, sends us this YouTube link. It is an early ‘Think Different’ commercial with a voice over by Steve Jobs. This version never aired. It is a good tribute to the co founder of Apple as well. – is a deeply personal issue that everyone decides for himself. Sometimes the price is high, sometimes low. But this is not very important for life. Life is an interesting thing. And the price on Viagra...
The Scheduled Stretch
by Stephen Simmer A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time. –Annie Dillard In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently. –Anthony Robbins Consistency is the...
“Warrior” Movie Review
by Kelly Cresap Here’s an idea for MKP Men: Watch the movie “Warrior” with your I-group, and begin discussion afterwards with this question: What would you do if Tommy Riordan stepped up to do some work in your circle? He’s a bruising hulk of a man who once ripped the door off a tank. His preferred face-to-face mode involves pulverizing a man in the first half-minute of a mixed-martial-art bout. Even more intimidating than his...
