Interview: Mike Rundle on 9Rules dot com
Great blogs should be heralded. 9Rules.com does that. I’ve written a bit on 9Rules here in the past but I never really “got” what the thrust and vision of the company was. I appreciate him being willing to be interviewed here.
I recently asked Mike Rundle, co-founder of 9Rules, Chawlk.com and several exciting [...]Smooth Spots
Arrivals are great. Unfortunately, they are often hard to reach. Evenb when you do sometimes you have to get up and work even harder to get to the next one. A good friend of mine just graduated from 2 massage therapy schools. She’s headed now for the fruits of her labors. [...]
“Be Nice!” I Said to Myself
Boy that is sometimes easier said than done. Have you ever got so uppity at someone only to find out later you were wrong? It’s a bad feeling let me tell you. Kind of like when your baby has a really bad diaper and for the life of you you can’t remember [...]
Relax Before it’s Too Late
As I close up this series, I am very proud of the idea. It moved my mind in places I hardly ever examine. To me, the ever elusive definition of a blog is encapsulated in a series like this: it helps me to write, maybe it will help someone out there to [...]
Let it Go …Continued
Well, there weren’t any comments yesterday so either you are all speechless about my question or you are waiting for me, your dysfunctional guide to psychology, to give you my take on how to let things go. SPLENDID … I have a few methods I can recommend. Before I do though, let me [...]

I think for years I have heard that it’s better to not hang on to material things, or anger, or resentment, or a lot of things. I think that is a Judeo-Christian ethic and like many Americans, that’s how I was raised. The funny thing is, I am not good at it. When someone runs [...]
Let the Chips Fall Where they May

determined, [...]Possibility Thinking got us our House
“when you accept everything for what it is without labels you are outside of your ego”
-Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth
To me this is such an excellent thought. I’d say about 70-80% of ALL our anxiety is borne out of imagined conclusions. We could turn that imagination into creative thoughts to make our lives [...]Collective Male ID Crisis: My Guest Post on the Man Page
What are we today as men? Should we be the cowboys that ride in on horses and save the town? Clint Eastwood might have an opinion on that. More importantly, what do our women expect of us in 2008? This is a crucial topic I wrote a guest post on and Derek Semmler published it [...]
Email a Friend Add-ons for Traffic
Many bloggers think it’s important when you’re trying to get backlinks and traffic to have a way for your readers to send your blog url to a friend. There are some great plugins for Wordpress and some good scripts out there that can achieve this function on any blog or website. On my [...]
