There comes a time in the life of every blog to be controversial.
This may be that time for me. I have never received any hate comments (well, on this blog — my locavore life blog? Another story… who knew seasonal food could insight such outrage??) or harsh words. That may change today.
Did you see how today, Tuesday, March 30th, Ricky Martin (finally) came out of the closet? Some might call his post to his site “gushy” — I see it as modeling everything we talk about here.

A poor, besotted client just suffered an extraordinarily lengthy email by my very own hand. It took me 42 minutes to write. It was followed by an email of apology for the length of the first email.
And who knows, maybe she wants to spend 10 minutes sifting through my prose! But because her juicy question is probably something you’ve wondered before, I’m going to (maintaining my client’s confidential identity) share all my secret answers with you.
To answer to your question: why did I overeat today?!

A client tipped me off to this aesthetically rich site that’s claiming to be a cool hunter, but seems to me it is more of a cool finder — which is why it made me think of you.
Being a cool finder yourself, you can be the judge of what is appealing and, well, cool, and what is a little too out there for you. I am partial to the architecture that’s been cool hunted.
So, go on! Dive in to the pop cultural deep end to give your analytical left brain a rest and get your creative right brain firing (weirdly, doing this will make your left brain more productive afterwards — score one for procrastination!).
- If nothing else, watch OK Go’s new video, which the site links to. It is pretty ridiculous.
Have fun on the style playground!

It’s Monday, not the most spectacular day of the week. There’s a lot to do, you have a lot of days of work in a row, and you might be feeling a little stressed about that.
And stress sucks. I’ve been thinking about all of the ways it brings us down: stress makes you fat, it leads to chronic illness, it feels awful, and it turns us into meanies.
And that little devil stress can sneak in like a Trojan Horse — you get this amazing gift-like opportunity, and hiding inside of it is an army of stress-bots, waiting to bust out and invade your day while your birthday candles are still smoldering:
- From what I can see, getting engaged is a Trojan Horse: Hooray, I’m engaged and in love! And, surprise – planning a wedding and appeasing all parties will be one of the most stressful experiences of your life.
- Getting a new job or a promotion is a Trojan Horse: Hooray, no more craptastic days in the cube! And, surprise — you now have to learn commercial real estate immediately because you make no moneys if you sell no spaces.
It’s not that the good part is not great, but the stress part is no fun and can really bring you to your knees.
Who needs THAT?
Not us!
So, if you’re feeling stressed out, here are some things you can do to feel better NOW.

Circle all that apply:
- Male / Female
- Doctor / Lawyer / Indian Chief
If you circled Female, and Lawyer, I have something special for you (though it will not remove the circles from your computer screen). It will make you happier, and it’s very, very cheap.
Curious? Click here to read more.
If you’re not female, and not a lawyer, I still like you and am happy to see you.
And to all, a glorrrrrrious weekend!
