Hi ho, MMMLOGerinos!

Bye, Bye, Louis Nye
When I was a child I loved the Steven Allen show on TV. He had the famous Man-On-The-Street interviews with crazy characters such as very nervous and stuttering Don Knotts and the cool hipster, Louis Nye, who greeted Steve with, "Hi ho, Steverino!" I loved Louis Nye. He was cool and nuts. Good fun. Louis passed on yesterday at 92, so here's a fond Bye Bye, Louis Nye from a fan who'll miss you.

Holding the Future Loosely
Hard to do that in this time of hyper goal setting and striving. We're all so danged attached to our desired outcomes that it becomes a bit of a challenge to allow for the one thing our tight grip on behavior in an attempt to put our lives on rails can't do anything about--CHANGE. I always say I'm glad for change, but I also admit that when I'm right in the middle of it, change sometimes doesn't feel so great. When I don't achieve what I thought I needed to or experience a loss, yikes. But then I switch tracks if I'm aware enough and move along, move along.

In the delightful book, True Work, we're advised, "When you're holding the future loosely, you bring a certain lightness to your work, which translates into greater flexibility. More choices become available, and you have the freedom to choose what may be a more enlivening direction. Not fixating on the future actually gives you more stability."

I'm still thinking about that . . .

Ciao, Ciao, MMMMMMMMMMMelinda
