Thursday I'm joining Steven Heumann & Zach Cipriano to help business owners & legacy builders learn how to write and publish their own book.
Often people are experts in their fields and one of the fastest ways to help people recognize you is to have your own book.

I've been creating very raw poetry for several days now. It is part of a thing I call: The Belonging Project. It's way of trying to bring all of us together in better ways. And because I haven't posted much of it in this space as of yet, I'm going to create a thread here where you can catch up.

Poem #6 of the Belonging Project. Yesterday’s poem was inspired by a conversation I had with someone that day. The poem, Money or People - The Business of Belonging, is dedicated to Reverend Jay Ragsdale of Fill the Pot Hope Center.

Starting this Monday, I'm going to start posting poetry about the things that I see going on in the world at this time that hurt people. I would love to hear from people on issues they would like to hear about and have love and support offered towards communities.

Ever spend a massive chunk of your life taking care of a tiny human only to realize at some point that as you've focused so much on them that you've lost track of a variety of threads (actually probably like different sections of the weave) in your life?

So far this year I've read three books. The first was "The Science of Storytelling" by WIll Storr. The second was "Supercommunicators" by Charles Duhigg. And the third was "Spirit Hacking" by Shaman Durek. Three books in two weeks feels really good. (1/2)
