In this morning’s rain
I remember these flowers
From yesterday’s sun

Today’s haiku, August 19, 2019
Capturing sunlight
Feeding it back to our soul
Watching an osprey
It’s time to rise and shine, I suppose. It’s easy to resist wakefulness, isn’t it? I messed my back up, which makes my motivation to wake that much weaker.
I hope your Monday goes well, and that you’re moving forward towards your goals.
A Sunday morning haiku
As dawn climbs the sky
How do i better myself?
Birds sing their answer
It’s a challenge for me to focus on the future, to create a vision. It’s much easier to live in this moment. But it leaves gaps in my psyche I try to fill. This is perpetual for me.
A haiku from the shore
In the morning mist
The waves dancing on the sand
Summer’s gaze will win
A View From My Walk
The air is cooler
I’m moving through the evening
Beauty gazes out
Short Term Marketing Doesn’t F***ing Work
I just stumbled on Chris Chalmers (via this video, of all things). Chris was a DJ on a couple of local (Seattle) radio stations. Having helped many folks with their digital presence, I fully get what he’s talking about in this video. Short-term marketing, much less short-term thinking, doesn’t work. Not in the long run at least.
Marketing should be a well thought out and well planned element of your business. Strategic thought, analytics, and deliberate execution all play a part in building the long-term business.
I’ve seen too many folks expect a website, Twitter/Facebook/Instagram account to come in and rain money. 9 times out to 10 (99 times out of 100?) it’s not going to work. Regular focused posts, thoughtful interaction and the well timed/placed promotion are what gets you there. You should consider this to be a multi-year long initiative.
An early evening haiku
With darkness falling
The sun shining from down low
Easily through trees
A Tuesday Meditation For You
Each day move forward
Seek out the best in ourselves
Honoring the sky
Good morning and welcome to Tuesday! I hope your week moves you in the direction you seek.
Homewards: tonight’s haiku
As we move homewards
Across the San Juan Islands
Summer’s Joy’s awake
