The picture above is not by him btw but rather Evoo73 (Adde's photos aren't licensed for me to use here but you can see them here).

What's odd about these oddfellows?
I picked up this postcard from the same-named restaurant when I was out with some good pals in Seattle. Do you think these fellows are odd? How do you think they'd view you? It's all a matter of perspective. What's one person's trash is another's treasure. What's normal to you may be off the scale … [Read more...] about What's odd about these oddfellows?
We leak our Life Lenses® – even with our computer bags
My (Carrot Life Lens®) approach: gleefully I dove into finding new homes for my things, creating new systems, organizing and tucking away with utter satisfaction.

Oh, that I could shrink the surface of the world (for some perspective)…
Wang Chien (AD 756–835) eloquently wrote the above when he heard his friend was coming back from the war. It came my way from a friend (thanks Michelle for your muse). It got me thinking about what creates distance and what creates closeness. Distance is more than being physically far apart, … [Read more...] about Oh, that I could shrink the surface of the world (for some perspective)…

"We cannot remain consistent with the world save by growing inconsistent with our past selves." ~ Havelock Ellis (1859-1939). When I set out to design Life Lenses® it was partly due to feeling boxed in by other assessments, assessments which often don't leave you room to grow.
