James B. Comey (Director, FBI) emailed me today.

Kind of strange that his return email is Lucasshawn53@yahoo.com, but maybe Mr. Comey wants to remain incognito. Unfortunately, it looks as though I was only eligible for this exciting offer for 24 hours after receipt of email, which was sent August 5. So, sad face. But, boy oh boy, looks like the FBI is ON THE JOB. Oh, by the way, I did edit the spacing of the message when I reproduced it here to make it a little more readable.

Here is his exciting email, in full:

Seriously, Eye Doctor Receptionist?

As the phone rang, I noted the time and the number and realized the eye doctor’s office had made a scheduling error since they were most likely calling to find out where Mr. Taylor was, since he wasn’t at the appointment.

I explained I had changed the appointment to blah blah, which she was able to confirm, and then she said, “we were just hoping he wasn’t wrapped around a tree and that’s why he wasn’t here.”

Hmmm. Catastrophize much? Kind of extreme, I think. Gosh, I hope she wasn’t seriously worried about that. If so, that must be a hella stressful job, man.

I don’t know. I think I’d just leave off the whole “wrapped around a tree” bit. Just say you were expecting him and then listen to the reason he’s not there.

Fat Tuesday Update Number >1 but <100

Thought I’d let you know what is working.

For a couple months now, I’ve removed simple carbs, and fruit from my diet. I eat protein, fat, and carbohydrates from veggies and beans. 

The trick is, for 156 of the 168 hours each week, I stick to this. For the other twelve ( Saturdays from about 11am to 11 pm) I eat whatever I want. 

So far, Saturdays have included donuts and pizza. Sometimes I have ice cream too. Allowing myself this freedom makes it very possible for me to be careful the other 6 days.

156/168 is just under 93%. It’s a different approach for me to actually encourage anything less than perfection. But it works to be careful 93% of the time.
I do not have a scale, so no idea what might be changing, although we did take measurements near the end of July and about as month later, and I have lost about six inches off my biceps, thighs, waist, chest and hips. 

Some Days are About Keeping on Moving Forward, You Know?

Some days we have breakthroughs in our thinking. Some days we just keep taking baby steps on our journey.

Yesterday, on Quora, I answered the question, “What are some everyday life hacks?” I find that many questions on Quora are general and almost impossible to answer, but I and plenty of others still answer anyway.

Here is my answer:

1. You see more of what you are looking for. Therefore, look for the good in things, in people, in situations, everywhere.

2. Be more willing to live with questions than to demand immediate answers. The answers that are lasting and sustainable take some time to find.

3. Take care of yourself as you would someone you treasure. How would you talk to that person? How would you feed that person? How would you allow others to treat that person?

4. Smile at people.

5. Drink enough water. Some say that’s 8- 8oz glasses per day. Others say take one half of your body weight and drink that many ounces. Water is good for simply everything in your body. Your cells, your brain, your digestion, your elimination, and quenching your thirst. If you need some flavor, add a bit of lemon juice, but try to keep the water free from any form of sugar.

6. Find ways to be playful and childlike in your life. Most people forget how to play, and it is essential for anyone of any age to do something that helps them lighten up and release some of the tension from all of our adult responsibilities. Note: childlike does not equal childish. Childlike has to do with the qualities of wonder and joy and lightness.

7. Make your bed every morning. It makes your room look nicer, no matter what the rest of it looks like, and it’s always nicer to get into a bed that’s been made.

8. Find ways to experience and appreciate beauty, whether through art, music, nature, or some form of creation.

9. Take large projects and divide them into smaller pieces or steps. This is the best way I know to be successful in completing tasks.

10. Be a force for good.
