depth and reach

14. March 2012

Today I’d like to return back to the post It’s Not Over Yet and continue the conversation in a slightly different way. That post, which is about recognizing that we may feel like we need to be successful online rightthisverymoment, hit home for many people. So now I’d like to propose a new way of [...]

focus

12. March 2012

Over the weekend Mr. Lively and I somehow completely missed that it was daylight savings time. Which made for a bit of a confusing morning for me as I switched between my phone clock and digital clock. What appeared to be a 45 minute nap turned out to be 1:45 long. Anyways, the time change [...]

it’s not over yet

8. March 2012

Lately I’ve been sensing in myself and others, especially online, that there is a feeling of urgency to be successful. Now more than ever it is awe inspiring to see the shooting stars of the internet world have great success in what they do. It’s amazing to see the big corporations start to reward these [...]

goals vs. intentions

7. March 2012

Fact #1: I have run two marathons. Fact #2: I have trained for five marathons. Why the huge difference in completed marathons versus training attempts? It all comes down to the difference between goals and intentions.  You see, during the first few training attempts I had two very heavy weights on my shoulders. The first [...]

download the full-size white wallpaper here A new month means a new free wallpaper here on MML. For March I decided to do a throwback to the popular and now retired Franklin intention necklaces. When work gets crazy and things seem unending, it’s helpful to remember to breathe. Things will get done. Things will turn out [...]

intentions and self-confidence

1. March 2012

Guys, I’m feeling kinda feisty. I’m gonna let it all out and hope that it comes out making sense, ok? As you know, the idea of authenticity, flaws, and blogging have been swirling around the interwebs and here on MML lately. Something’s in the air and it feels like the honest breeze is a welcome [...]

imperfections

23. February 2012

On the coat tails of my post about my abs, I think there’s something I’d like to discuss a bit more. The idea of being authentic online.  There were many people who mentioned on that post that they enjoyed my authenticity here on MML. And I appreciate that so much. Those who may not have [...]

the day before valentines day

14. February 2012

First of all, I wasn’t sure about just what to say about this Valentine’s Day. Like many, I’ve had extremely good and bad experiences with February 14th. Over the years I’ve been adored, surprised, and spoiled. Like my recent trip to Cabo. And I’ve also spent the holiday single eating an entire box of Samoas [...]

smurgging

13. February 2012

When I was a junior in college I had what I consider to be an emotional meltdown. It was one of those years where things snowballed from bad to worse, largely due to my own thinking. I binge ate candy bars, was in therapy facing a lot of old demons, and burned down all of [...]

the happy secret to better work

9. February 2012

Yesterday my friend Amy sent me a great TED Talk. It is so funny, insightful, and helpful, that it is one of my favorites of all time. In the talk about positive psychology, Shawn Achor explains how to get more success at work, intentionally. (Since WordPress isn’t letting me upload the video in this screen [...]

the best of people

8. February 2012

This morning I woke up with a feeling of excitement for the many new projects I’m working on for Jess LC. And at the same time, I also had a knot of dread bigger than an Ann Sather’s cinnamon roll in my stomach. You see, we have been in the process of getting our new [...]
