Friday Stoke - Imprints of PersiaUsually, the “Friday Stoke” post is all about folks, other than me, doing awesome stuff and most often displayed as a video clip. Today is different.
I have ranted before about my distaste (or at the very least unease) with continually “whoring” myself in the name of self-promotion. Something I do realise is a necessary evil. I am my own business after all. But I am super stoked to show you guys today my latest published article. It has been a very good run with articles for me ove... more  URL: www.markkalch.comFriday StokeIt’s hot today! Damn hot! On top of that it is overcast. Not even the sun to justify it. I can’t race off to the river because I have to mow the yard. We have visitors coming. Bummer! I was stoked to be able to get back on a river, any river during the week.

I have noticed that when I post something quite deep and meaningful I get a fairly large spike in visits. Interestingly, the Friday Stoke does not produce the same sort of stoke amongst visitors as the more serious stuff. Should I dump the Friday Stoke? I don’t think I can! I love these posts! I do s... more

Every day I try to be better. No matter how small or how large this daily achievement is, I can go to sleep knowing that I have improved myself. Perhaps I finished (or started) an article or booked a speaking engagement. Maybe I went for a long walk in the mountains and made a conscious decision to work on my navigation (as I did yesterday). These things, I sub-consciously add up and their effect multiplies.... more URL: www.markkalch.com |
