Thank you, Mercury Retrograde – Day 2 #WDS2013
I now accept the unexpected during Mercury Retrograde, which has given me the ability to ride its currents into magical new places. I'll give you an example. (It's a long story, so stick with me.) I missed my MAX stop at the end of a long day at the World Domination Summit, and a series of unfortunate events gave me an incredible gift, found at the end of a path paved with the unexpected. Without all of these mishaps together, [...]
Perfect day in Portland – Day 1 #WDS2013
This was easily one of the best days of my life. The day started with a 45 minute bike ride into downtown Portland, along the Willamette bluff, watching the city rise and wake.

It's a lot like the meeting of avatars in the Matrix. We have these online personas that do all these badass things on our blogs and social media platforms, and [...]
Five Short Workouts for Busy People with No Time to Exercise
To keep my body fit, I can't wait until one special afternoon every week to exercise. That's not my style, and it doesn't deliver the benefits of a regular, sustained daily exercise routine. So I work out 10-20 minutes every day. With shower time, I can often do a complete workout in the middle of my workday, and only be away from my computer for 30 minutes. With a short selection of bodyweight exercises, you can fit a workout [...]
How to Change your Twitter Username in One Hour with No Impact
I changed my Twitter handle last month. The net impact on my social media has been zero. No followers lost, no awkward broken links, no drop in my Klout score. Changing your Twitter handle used to mean that you killed one profile and started another. Now, with just a few simple steps, you can change your twitter username without murdering your avatar and starting a new one from scratch. 5 Essential Apps for Running a Lifestyle Business from your Laptop [...]
