I just discovered that during the last night a raccoon caught one of our koi, ate half of it and left the rest on the deck for later use.  Poor little fish…  I don’t know how to bring the news to my dad – it was his favorite one, he picked it, he named it…

…

I’m amazed, though, by raccoon’s intelligence and determination  – the koi pond we have is covered with a fine net, and only in one place the net was loose and the raccoon took advantage of it.

…

Weird enough (though coming back from Keith Cunningham’s Flying Solo – how to start a business seminar can justify it a little bit)  it reminded me about one of the keys to the business success – the necessity of laster-sharp targeting:  you better spectacularly please few people, then casually please everyone – find the niche, or, as I go back to the raccoon, find the hole in the net.

…

Now, I am going to take a postmortem portrait of what we used to call our fish in order to show it to the guy who takes care of our pond.

Talked with Max about substance addictions this morning – short, but  insightful.  Triggered the following thoughts:

we are trinity of  body, mind and spirit. At the “deep down” point of addiction mind and body are hugely affected by the substance, so people can’t think clearly, if they can think at all about anything but drugs and pain… So at this point to rely on body or mind doesn’t provide with the solution and the only way out is to reconnect with the spirit. At the deepest point you surrender to something bigger than you – either death – and people die, or life – and people go for support of any kind – to do so one needs to have faith, faith is from a spiritual realm.  These thoughts are raw, I just need to dump them somewhere to continue with a productive day at the office.

Any thoughts on topic appreciated.

With love,

N.

I’m really blessed. You know how we have different voices inside of our heads (don’t tell me that it is only me who has them ;)). Some of them are critical, some of them are encouraging. We usually don’t pay conscious attention to them but they are present.

Today I finally paid attention to one of mine and I was amazed to discover that habitually in situations when I’ve done somethng stupid, or made a mistake, and so on, I tell myself: “Наташка, ты артистка” that in English would be something like “Natashka, you are funny”. Isn’t that cool????

Now I am definitely curious whose voice it is – my mom’s or my dad’s – who was telling me that, and I am very grateful for that voice and for that love. Now I will pay close attention to the words my sons will hear inside their heads 10, 20, 30 years from now.

Love you all,
N.
