January 14,2026, Wednesday morning,3:23am, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I am sitting on my couch eating a chocolate peanut butter builder bar and sipping death wish coffee. I walked up to the lookout at heritage park then came home and did some push ups. Now it is Time to watch the weather, read some articles and enjoy a peaceful midweek morning.

January 13,2026,Tuesday morning,3:35am,pacific standard time, in Dana Point, California, USA. Yesterday was a busy day at work. Lots of phone calls and the business office manager was off. We lost a lot of expertise with the change of personnel in that position. It has made this job more challenging. We can still be successful, but it is going to take a shift in focus and energy. I have to be mindful of details I automatically left to the manager. Today should be a good day. We have our all staff meeting at 3pm. I am looking forward to seeing everyone.

January 12,2036,Sunday morning, 4:08am,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. When I start my walk on Monday morning I remind myself it is the worst the week will get. If I can go out on a dark, cold January Monday morning and find happiness I can conquer anything. I appreciate being a part of the collective energy of the universe and experiencing all life has to offer.

January 11, 2026, Sunday evening, 6:19,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Woke up and went to EOS for a morning workout. Later I drove out to foothill ranch and walked on the treadmill at planet fitness. In the afternoon I took my daughter to get lunch, walked the dog, picked up needed items from target and cvs, got a haircut, took my daughter to clean the litter box for her friends cats, grabbed Starbucks with her, dropped her off, took the dog out, fed the dog then came back to Dana Point. It was a full day but pretty fun.

January 10,2026,Saturday evening, 5:02pm, pacific standard time, in Dana Point, California, USA. Went for the blue lantern walk and worked out at planet fitness. Then I did laundry all morning before taking my daughter to get lunch and feed her friend’s cats. It is Saturday evening so I am a little restless. This is the hardest part of the week. I used to fill the space with food and drink. Kind of boring when neither are appealing any more.

January 9,2026,Friday afternoon, 2:30pm,pacific standard time, office in Costa Mesa, California,USA. We have had a lot of deaths at work and admissions are slow. It is frustrating to lose momentum. For the last 9 months we have been growing. Maybe it is a blip on the radar and things will turn around. In the meantime I am bummed. My sense of personal worth is tied to business success. When things aren’t going well I get depressed.

January 8,2036,Thursday night, 6:51pm,pacific standard time, in Dana Point, California, USA. I am missing my old job tonight. More to the point, I am missing being in a hotel with an expense account, enjoying a decadent meal on someone else’s time, savoring the end of the work week. Overall I don’t miss travel. I enjoy being home consistently. Butt sometimes old memories pop in my head and make me long for forgotten days.

January 7,2026, Wednesday night, 6:06pm,pacific standard time,parking lot, school of rock, San Juan Capistrano,California, USA. This morning I noticed the sketches of guitars I used to do when traveling. When I would get anxious and couldn’t sleep I would draw acoustic guitars on hotel notepads. While it was an effective coping mechanism it didn’t create lasting change or work long term. They made me realize how far I have come with the 10,000 Bricks. Checking in every hour and being mindful of my positive energy, being engaged in the moment, aligned thoughts and actions and connected with the universe has significantly calmed me. I am proud of what I have created even if it is for an audience of one.

January 6,2026,Tuesday night, 8:07pm,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. This morning I felt rested and still got up at 3am. I walked to the heritage park lookout, which is about a 50 minute round trip. It was a good walk. Not the distance I usually cover but enough to feel like a challenge and not be rushed and/or tired. I also feel better upset stomach wise. overall a good day,

January 5,2026,7:24pm,pacific standard time, in Dana Point, California, USA. I slept in until 5am this morning. I am all out of energy and my schedule is off. Getting up in the cold and going for a walk has zero appeal. I will see how I feel tomorrow. Hopefully I can get back in the groove and settle my stomach. Today I paid attention to what I ate and how my body reacts. Builder Bars and fruit were good. Cheese, not so much. I will try some nuts tomorrow.
