On cynics & dreamers & a path of ‘what ifs’.

by Jeb Life

Reflection comes easy these days. Which is not to say I always enjoy the results…the truth, as they say, can hurt. But in sifting through the aftermath of my professional train wreck, looking for survivors has proven a tough business. What’s worth saving? So much of life is make believe, it’s hard to discern the [...]

My Posse, 2nd In A Series

by Jeb Life

Happy Sunday. I’ve been relatively quiet lately…no particular reason for that other than a general lack of inspiration. But as thinking about things for which I’m thankful tends to inspire me, my Posse post can only help. My gratitude this week sits squarely on the shoulders of Henie.

Goals FTW, or WTF?

by Jeb Life

A while back I wrote down some goals. I just went back and reviewed that post again and I’m still happy with them.

Images and Ideas

by Jeb Life

Taking pictures is about observation. And yeah, the subject tells a story, no doubt about it. It hints at our biases, our interests, our predispositions. If I take a picture of a tree, you learn something about me before I even say a word. And when I tell you about that picture, the real learning [...]

Roots and Reach – a model for us all.

by Jeb Life

As I follow their lives from the ground up, I’m amazed. I stand there looking up at nothing in particular, but marveling at everything just the same. The wonders these trees have seen. I try to consider the stories they would tell, if only we could listen. And I find myself on the verge of tears. Their [...]

Running man

by Jeb Life

So I was kicking around the idea of starting another site focused on running. As you may or may not know, I’m a runner…in fact, it’s somewhat of a passion of mine so I don’t mind the label. And as I’ve been changing course a bit this past year, professionally, I’ve spent a lot of [...]
