Retooling life for part 2
I made my first tiny film for a local festival. It was the 3rd annual festival and I had attended years 1 and 2. Determined to submit to this year’s festival, I succeeded! Yay showing up. Yay midlife refit. Yay trying new things. Yay learning…
The theory is we all move through life at the same speed. A second is a second after all, no? I’d like to put forth it’s the quality of that movement through those uniform seconds that changes how fast we live our lives. My life…
I plucked President Carter’s The Virtues of Aging off the library shelf and since I’m midlife refitting, I took it home. My mother always said, “It’s hell to get old.”, why not work to attach some grace to the concept? Let’s see what old Jimmy has…

Tall walls around, surround. You can walk the embankment perimeter see nourishment within the lifewater. Contained, restrained, pooled for protection and future use. Sometimes The level is low. Other times Filled to the brim. And there’s machinery required to make it all go. The brain…

Brain dump of niche What do you want? Because of my blog/brand/book – my triple Bs What makes your bbb stand out in your niche? This isn’t finished, but here’s what I have: A place to begin.
Leg-of-mutton sleeves circle round the fashion cycle and return to grace our presence.
Stop using the word should. It only leads feeling bad about what is not happening.
Gripped By the fear that Is. life transformed in an instant where never again can you go back to the has been. Frozen in an instant while living the rest of life. There was a point. I continued to “just do it” way before nike,…

My life has verdigris around the edges.Part mold, part tarnish, full inattention. I learn (and must learn) again and againit’s as easyif not easierto accomplish the taskthan drag it outin angst to awful infinity,the reward of completion so sweet. Scrape the green all together from…
It makes sense that glimmers are something fleeting and flashy while triggers … well, a gun comes to mind. So I would think the glimmers have to be pretty special to carry as much weight. I suppose both things are continuua, the severity, the soothiness, triggers antonymic to glimmers.
Still love the idea, accentuate the positive. Rain is a biggie for me even while it embraces a certain cozy melancholia, it is grounding and nourishing. The sound, the sog of it all, even escaping approaching stormy skies.
Super thankful I run into glimmers a whole lot more often than triggers.
Triggers shoot a glimmer bullet. Fleeting and flashy.
The glimmers I like are when I can see how my situation will fructify.
glimmer #2 definition: A faint manifestation or indication; a trace: a glimmer of understanding.
the light at the end of a tunnel
the only way out is through
a sight of the completion
A faint manifestation.
I had one yesterday
while listening
to Aja Monet’s
poem
Every Media Minute
I am on the right road. I thought.
I knew it to be true.
without kerfuffle it appeared
now that is a glimmer
My confidence and cowering a sine wave.
I don’t mean to imply a regularity
it’s more like an ocean wave.
Sometimes tempestuous, sometimes glass,
long period, short period.
The point is
Yes
and
No
get the fear, get it gone,
rise up to meet yourself
