This is your life

This is your life.  No – not the old-time TV series – your real, flesh and blood, life.  Live it the way you want.

The Music Shuffle

There’s a lot of shuffling going on.

We shuffle the deck, shuffle our feet and sometimes shuffle off to Buffalo.  These days we even shuffle our music. Shuffle our music?  I can just hear the teenagers of the 70’s and 80’s tilt their heads and question, How do you do that, man? Well first you need to get past the record player and understand that some day, in the not so distant future, you’ll be able to carry all of your music in the palm of your hand, or your jeans pocket and have it play in random order and not just in the order as dictated on Side A of your vinyl pizza.  No Way Dude, they exclaim to which you reply, Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.

Manifesto

Since I constantly research and study what defines success and happiness, it amazes me it took me until today to come across The Holstee Manifesto.   Three friends sat together on the steps of Union Square and came up with this declaration – (made in NYC – awesome!) – to have something to reflect upon.  Suffice it to say, a lot of people connect with it and have made the manifesto a success all its own.  I find it a wonderful reminder to be creative,  stay curious, and follow my heart.

What’s your manifesto?
