Day 110: Leaning Towards Relief

Posted on October 21, 2022

I’m very upset right now. We know you are, Chris! You are holding yourself in a lower vibration, one where you are the victim 🙂 Okay, fine. Fine, maybe so! I’m frustrated!…

Day 109: “They Don’t Get to Define You” (Original Music)

Posted on October 20, 2022

I wrote this piece today to explore doing some orchestration in a more classical style using Logic Pro. I used legato strings, pizzicato strings, staccato strings, and tremolo strings, each of which…

Day 108: Happiness is an Inside Job

Posted on October 19, 2022

Posted on October 18, 2022

Day 106: Progress Taking Care of Myself

Posted on October 17, 2022

Day 105: “Home to Roost” (Original Music)

Posted on October 15, 2022

Today’s pick comes from a treasure trove of recent compositions. I had a lot of fun with this one, from the fun offbeat melody to the low brass bass.

Day 104: Marathon Brain

Posted on October 14, 2022

All week long, I have had one thought on my mind: tomorrow’s 26-miler. This has made for an interesting week. It’s like having an upcoming Oscar red carpet appearance. Mental bandwidth is…

Day 103: The 2022 Market Volatility Bummer

Posted on October 13, 2022

I have written about how investing* is really about growing your share ownership; that is, growing the number of shares you own of any given fund over time. Writing about this has…

Day 102: I’m Running a Marathon on Saturday… For Training!

Posted on October 12, 2022

With three days until my 26-mile training run (these words are in italics because, well, it stills feels just a little crazy!), I can honestly say that I’ve got “marathon, marathon, marathon”…
