Quote by Leonard da Vinci

2025/09/12

This is a quote by Leonardo da Vinci.Don't know whether it's true or not, but I like the sentiment, so I'm going to say it anyway.“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.”I tend to believe this happens in work all the time. We just go through the motions. We just do it. When employees show up, they just start working.I want them to sit there, and I want them to think for five minutes before they start their work.Even for me, it resonates. You have to connect your head to your

This is a quote by Dorothea Dix.“In a world where there's so much to be done, I felt strongly impressed that there must be something for me to do.”If you've ever felt like there was nothing for you to do and you're just doomscrolling, maybe you should think about actually doing what the world needs you to do?What's your soul calling you to do?What's your intuition calling you to do?Put the phone down and start taking action, whatever that is, even if it's a pad of paper and creating a writing.Let me

Written 9/7/2025I had my first “second date” since 2022 yesterday. I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen. I do know wonderful redhead enough that I can’t push her to nail something down. It’s up to her to make that decision.I had planned my Saturday out without her. I was going to ride my motorcycle to pick up a raffle prize I had won. Go to Theosofest at the Theosophy Society, then test ride Indian Motorcycles at IMotorsports. Then the text came in about going to the art fair in Wicker Park.Plans

Written 9/5/2025.I just read a lovely article entitled Ancient Wisdom: How to Die Well (click on the link to go to the article).Riding motorcycles, I’m confronted with death on a weekly basis.

The reality is that it is the second biggest

Written 9/4/2025.One of the duties of an Ambassador for the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce is to attend ribbon cuttings. This is for both new businesses and businesses who had something significant happen.Tonight, it was for the total refurbishment of the Fairfield by Marriott in Naperville.

2025/09/01

This is a quote by Auntie Mame. It was a movie, and I love it.“Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving.”There are so many positives about life. If we focus on the positives, it's a banquet. It's a feast. You need to get a job. You can get a job. The question is whether you're going to get a job that you want to get or feel like it is at your station versus below your station.If you walk in and have nothing, you can walk into almost any restaurant, wash dishes, and they'll give you food
