Fun – being my wild ass self in the glory of nonconformity.

Beautiful – Sunny late summer days and all the activities they inspire.

Well dine Karl!

I really enjoyed this video this week.

Hi Megan, new schedules stink until you find that good rhythm. For me it’s all about rhythm. Trying to relax with the work and enjoy what I’m presently doing.

Hi Karen, thanks for sharing this blog. It means a lot. It sounds like the poop scooping company has a lot of fun.

Hi Trudy, I’d say pursue what interests you. If you want to learn more, go for it, if you want to apply what you learned then try that.

Hi Stacey, getting rid of the old is hard. I’m slowly improving the stuff on this site and it’s a challenge to let go.

the Hard: I’m working on some new business “stuff” – creating the new and getting rid of the old. And that is a challenge.

The fun: I learned that a local TV show is looking for a new host and they are holding auditions Oct 1. It’s on my calendar and I’m heading out early that day (actually staying at hotel the night before) to be one of the first 100 to try out! FUN!

The Beautiful – I just spent a couple of hours supporting a colleague during her 5th anniversary (Business) celebration. I saw so many people I know through a networking group we’re in together – it was beautiful to see so many people taking time on a Saturday to support her efforts!

Fun – Reading Chapter 4 in one of my best friend’s manuscript. She is an amazing writer and I am on her reading team. I like watching the book materialize from her ideas into a full-fledged novel. I can’t wait to see it go to publishing; she has an agent and publisher interested in her and I am so proud of her.

Beautiful – the other side of my career, Photography. I photographed a really lovely, small and endearing wedding and it was so nice to hear wonderful comments from my colleagues, fans and especially the bride herself on my Facebook page. I really felt honored to be a part of their special day.

My “fun” was discovering this site through “Life is Beautiful” blog and sharing it with a few of my co-workers and friends. Also, finding the absurdity in advertising (a poop-scooping business with “Adventures” written below the business info).

As for the beautiful – the sunrises have been amazing this week. Also, a wonderful person helped me out with an incorrect delivery and made my day.

Hard = juggling a newish schedule and having more to do than I have in the last three or four months, and still trying to keep up at the same pace I had been maintaining previously.

Fun = having my boyfriend home from the Middle East to spend time with and being in a relationship again. I’m very much enjoying the nonsensical late-night chatter, the early morning smiles, being at his house in the country versus my apartment in the city… And having someone to laugh with every day.

Beautiful = Being hugged on a near-daily basis. When my boyfriend was in the M.E. for four months, my hugs came from friends maybe once a week. I realize just how important being held by the person you deeply love can be, and I’m grateful for this beautiful gift in my life right now.

Happy Saturday, Karl!

The hard: Yesterday was jam-packed with meetings. And it just made for a long day. In the end, though, good things came out of every one of them.

The fun: Soccer practice this week for the team I’m coaching. Practice was so much fun, and running around and hearing all the laughter was so good!

The beautiful: The fog over the pond by our house, this morning, as I drove my son to football practice. Very peaceful setting to take in.

Great stuff, these hard/fun/beautiful videos! Seeing what this is for you (and others) is very refreshing for me.

Hi Nadia, I love how the sun slowly brightens the morning sky. It’s something that I don’t treasure enough. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Nathan, for me, growing is what it’s all about.

As for the headaches, I hate them…I notice I don’t get them when I’m working for myself
