So to kick off, I have been on my way to writing this next Sunday post for something like six weeks. What got in the way? I stopped taking anti-depressants for the first time in five years, I felt fine but was waiting for some crash. I was a little concerned I’d write to you […]
One Easy Thing You Can Do To Come Alive
I’ve always toyed with the idea of making a T-Shirt with the question ‘do you even know you are alive?’ But am less angry with the world these days. As I look at the mental health of the world and my mental health I am sure being mad at people is counter productive. For example, […]
Take It To The Mat And Pull The Trigger
Sorry to keep you. So there I was dicking around about which pearl of my infinite wisdom to share with you today. Sorry to keep you. I had a lot on, like checking every blog about blogging on the planet to be sure I was doing it right. Then I had to check a page […]
I Got 99 Problems But Depression Ain’t One
Over the holidays we spent a week in Poland with our friends, I was sick for a day when we arrived and sick for a day when we got back. Something happened in Poland, I love that place and I love our friends there dearly. I am wondering if a Polish Priest did a quick […]
Failure + Time. The Inches Are All Around Us
It is scary the inches between thought and action. I mean it has never been a strong point for me but now I have fine tuned how I track things and I am it scares me how often things just miss the ship point. I often talk about how nice the 48 people were who […]
Death Camps and Doughnuts
I have a few doughnuts on my plate and there was one I was looking at with enthusiasm. Then someone took the jam out of it. Well, of course, they didn’t. I did. I tried something and it did not work and I am a little pissed off. However, the reason I am pissed off […]
90 Days of Massive Action #01
I think I am finally there. While we were up on a mountain in Italy for the OuiShare summit a lot of things came together for me. At one point I was chatting and said I am not sure why I came, even more so, I brought #babybernie too and he did not know why […]
“Be the change you want to see”
My big screen on my desk at 90 Main Yard has a cute picture – “Be the change you want to see” – I would like not to be an arsehole – but I am. I’d like to see a world with fewer arseholes in it. For those of you near me I am working on […]
A Sentimental Journey Through Spain and Italy #1
I have not done anything all day. Quite literally I am too excited to move. Tomorrow #Babybernie and I are off to Italy to a magical little place called “The Rural Hub” for the OuiShare Summit #7. Around 70 of us from all over the world will sit around and collectively discuss, decide and vote […]
Falling off the toilet.
This became funny when my mate Thom reminded me that Elvis had died on the toilet. I am never sure why toilets and dying are funny. They always make me smile and when used on direct conjunction with each other I laugh out loud. If that does not make you smile hopefully my “Iggy Pop” […]
Am I Really a Successful Blogger?
This is going somewhere, please stick with me. So doing the working out loud thing is become more solid for me. Posting what ‘one’s blog’ is making is a daring way of making it work and offering something for people to follow and hopefully collaberate and chip in with advice and comments too. I am […]
What do you most know about #blogging Bernie?
What do you most know about blogging Bernie? Is a question I am never asked. If I was an industry expert and was ‘often’ asked that question I’d be able to start this blog by saying ‘I am often asked by my clients…’ I have to say by this stage of the game it is […]
Why I’m not a writer – YET
Ramsey has a blog post by Blog Tyrant that I make myself go back to every so often. “Why you are not a writer” is a list of what we do instead of writing. That list of important things like ‘getting set up to write’ that take longer to get ready than actual writing. I […]
Just another 30 day blog challenge… #21
It was 1997 or maybe even 1998 and I was wondering around Canary Wharf where I worked, I felt like a teenager and was certainly acting like one. I had just only just got over big relationship number two and little did I know I was heading for big relationship number three and a couple […]
Just another 30 day blog challenge… #20
So reader, what is going on here? A few of you, well two people have asked “Hey Bernie how is the blog challenge going?” Honestly some days it is a curse, a curse in the way that small children who are alive and full of energy are. You want them to be that way and […]
