DEDICATION, DEVOTION, WRITING A BLANK SCREEN ALIVE

April 4, 2024 by David Gillaspie

BoomerPdx spam is very encouraging with kudos for dedication, devotion, and persistence. Persistence, not pestilence. For the most part I work to promote persistence in whatever field you find yourself in. You didn’t get there by accident. It may have started from an accident, or happenstance, but once you settle in, keep going.

PERSONAL CONDITIONING FOR BETTER LIVING

March 30, 2024 by David Gillaspie

What’s the first sign you look for when see someone for the first time? For some people it’s a watch, for others it’s shoes. Or a haircut, a jacket. Maybe fancy fingernails. But no matter what you see someone wearing, what stands out first is their personal conditioning.

COMMITMENT TIME, BUT TO WHAT

March 7, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Commitment time is like a broken clock being right twice a day. The difference is one. Make your promise when you get up, not when you go to bed. You’ve got enough going on to keep you awake.

SPORTS DADS SAY, “PLAY MY KID IF YOU’RE SMART”

February 27, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Sports dads come in every flavor between sweet and sour. They come with vast experience, and none. What they know for sure is their kid is better than your kid and should play more than he does. With that attitude, what can go wrong?

LUXURY LIVING FOR LESS THAN YOU’D THINK

February 25, 2024 by David Gillaspie

POWER TOOTH FILLS THE GAP

February 8, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The power tooth, as defined on this blog, is more than a tooth. It is all your teeth, a lifetime of teeth. Is that powerful enough for you to keep up with them? More importantly, powerful enough for me, the tooth blogger?

SURRENDER CELEBRATION FOR GIVING UP

February 5, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Surrender celebration starts after you’re done. Whatever it was you were working on, when it’s done, you’re done. You’re not going to make anything better at some point. That’s when you need to know how to walk away.

BRANDED BLOGGER: WHO IS ON BRAND

January 28, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Every branded blogger works their site like a farmer. They prep the page, sew the seeds (words,) and irrigate. But the best branded bloggers do more than irrigate. They irritate. It goes like this:
