and it’s BLOWIN UP !  CALL THE CRIB SAME NUMBER SAME HOOD, IT’S ALL GOOD

Man. Dan, I know you’re committed to avoiding a job, but I think you should go work for Obama.

Watching Iowa vs #13 Michigan. Iowa’s up deep into the 2nd half.

You can try to escape the story of your life, but you can’t. It happened… Heart broke. I knew you when you were young. Heart broke too. I will know you when we are old too. And maybe wise. I know you now. Your story. Mine isn’t the one I would have chosen in the beginning. But, I’ll take it. It is my story. It’s only mine. And, it’s not over. There’s time. There is time. There’s so much time.

Laura Dern in Enlightened. Brilliant series.

In 2006, actor Stephen Fry received a letter from a girl struggling with depression. This was his response.

This is why Stephen Fry is one of my heroes.

A fantastic human being.

You’ve probably seen this, but you also probably can’t see it enough.

Most good things happen without a plan: friendships, falling in love, finding a job, and so on. If you want to make your new year count, you’ll need to be intentional — not by setting goals, but by making space in your life for what really matters

» How to Have the Best Year of Your Life (without Setting a Single Goal) :zenhabits (via bijan)

I completely agree with this quote, but would add one piece.

You have to put yourself in situations that maximize serendipity in order to have have these wonderful unplanned encounters. And most times, these serendipity-maximizers don’t look fruitful up front.

Serendipity rarely seeks you out, so I am not suggesting you say “yes” to more inbound opportunities. Instead, it’s about getting out in the world and seeking events, opportunities, people that would not normally cross your path or show up in your inbox. Getting outside your comfort zone. I definitely plan to do much more of that in 2012.

As for Penelope’s expectation that women would run at half-speed because they have children is utter bullshit. Have she met Tereza Nemessanyi of Honestly Now or Joanne Lang of About One or Amanda Steinberg or Dailyworth or Amanda Hesser of Food 52 or Erin Newkirk of Red Stamp…I could make a huge list but that gets my point across. All of these women including others are paving the way for our next generation of daughters (and quite frankly sons who support these women and their killer businesses).
