Getting Older

Early Morning Haiku

Dawn brings potential

I feel so much clarity

Sky brightens slowly

For many folks, it’s the first day of school. I hope your Wednesday is exceptional. May out be a great school year.

Signs of Summer: this evening’s haiku

Still signs of summer
And the sunlight is quite warm
I saw geese flocking

A New Beginning

I’ve accepted a new position with Matt Steel, a Bellevue-based broker with EXP realty, who’s a decade or two of real estate experience.  I’ll manage their digital marketing. This excites me greatly. I did this for C&K real estate team a few years ago. I loved this part of my job, even though I”m a bit rusty. My interest in digital marketing goes many years back and it aligns with my interests in web design, writing and social media.

Also, I’ll be managing this team’s transactions, which is another thing I’ve done (both for C&K, and also with Eagle Country construction). I’m excited to be continuing in the real estate and housing sector. I discovered how much I know and understand, and how much I bring to the table. As I’ll be renewing/rebooting my real estate license, I’ll dive deeper into this sector. I’m not entirely sure what I will do with this part of my career, but there are so many options, so many good ways to earn a living. I’m not sure which path is the right one. But as I’ve been listening to Gary Vee the past few days (updating my digital marketing knowledge), I see a need to experiment, take some risks, try some ideas out and see where they lead. I won’t get anywhere I want to go by seeking the easiest path, the easy way forward.

I’m excited to get back into the fray. And very excited to add the official title of “digital marketer” to my resume. And I’m really pumped to put all I’ve learned, and am learning, to work. Time to hit it hard!

The Last Days Of Summer

Now dawn’s arrived

There’s one last day of summer

This carefree robin 

The Everett Farmers Market: Today’s Haiku

Under the sunlight
Farmers display their wares
Clouds splicing the sky

I love farmers markets. Two are nearby: Edmonds (Saturdays) and Everett (Sundays). If we miss one, we have the other. It’s a lovely setup.

A Meditation On Love: A Haiku

Love is many things
Over and under rated
Creates joy and pain

 

A scene from today’s walk

Walking through the rain
WIth summer’s end approaching
This crafted flower

Though it cooler than the past few days, it felt plenty warm to me. Greater Seattle’s mugginess felt fine to me.
