Monday Goodness: Some Days.

MOMA recently acquired this piece entitled Living: Some days you wake and immediately… by artist Jenny Holzer. The 8 x 10″ bronze signage really spoke to me – everyone has had a day like this. You wake up able to feel its presence and it feels like a cloud hanging over you. You’re literally just waiting for the bomb to drop. Ugh.

So now you’re saying, “But today’s Tuesday. You’re Monday Goodness is a day late!” And you’re right of course. Yesterday our office was closed for MLK Day. It’s taking awhile to get used to having bank holidays off, but I’m not complaining! I apologize for not giving a heads up last Friday about my Monday absence. I hope everyone had a crazy-great weekend.

Monday Goodness: Some Things.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday! Mine was filled with way too much food, some shopping and family. And now the real Holiday Madness begins. Just a little reminder to keep it all in perspective.

Occasionally we succeed at making everybody happy but when clients expect all three every time – well, then we don’t expect to be working with that client for very long.

Monday Goodness: What We Need

The above is an excerpt from Writers & the War Against Nature published in the Shambhala Sun, November 2007 issue. It needs to be passed on as much as possible because the sentiment is spot on, so please spread the love around.
