Today I wrote about 4 pages of the new book, and scanned through all 12,000 cards looking for ideas and nuggets of wisdom. I have a pretty good idea what I want to say, but I want to add a story arc that binds together all the random elements. That’s tomorrow’s assignment. Will I have […]

Today I’m doing my best to put everything I have to say about life down on paper. It’s hard. Here’s some advice on helping someone you love. But sometimes, you can’t. Sometimes, you shouldn’t, because you’re wrong. And sometimes you shouldn’t, because even if you’re right, sometimes we have to make our own mistakes to […]

There’s so much good in the world. But you have to be willing to see it. 🙂 How do you maintain your optimism?   Make a plan for the future that includes risk management. Find ways to measure whether what you’re doing is working! And if you need to be cheered up, visit a playground […]

There’s no escaping death. But you can’t let it get you down, either. That’s the paradox of life. Tomorrow, I start work (finally) on the Wheel Questions book. Should I grieve / Do I have to grieve a friend’s death? (because I can’t.).   Would your friend want you to give up a month and […]

Kids ask the best questions sometimes. Maybe it’s because adults are so focused on practicalities. Kids have the whole world open to them. Here’s one, this time in video. How do people change their mind? ———- Want daily inspiration? Subscribe. And see my other blog, WeirdBostonEvents.org.

When there’s family trouble, wanting to reclaim the age of innocence (Christmas around the hearth with 5-year-olds) can disguise the fact that being adult friends can be very fulfilling, and may feel safer to the now adult kids […]

This card is perfect. It’s like a work of art how the urgency and indecision come through. I wish all my questions were written like this. How do I Know She is the one??? 🙁   It’s true love if you’re both consistently good to each other, never freaking out or lashing out. Don’t get […]

I’ve heard a lot of profound things. But I think regret is the most painful thing people can experience. It includes all types of tragedy, with the twist that it was caused by you, and you can’t change the past. Everyone has regrets i their life. With the holiday season coming up, maybe now is […]

Congratulations to Maria from Boston for winning the laptop! I’ll continue to pick a favorite question & answer a day to post this daily blog, and keep you updated on events about a Wheel Questions project in 2010. I am looking for a couple of volunteers to help with applying to grants and corporations for […]

It’s a weird feeling not having Wheel Questions work to do after the Video Blitz, which took nearly 3 weeks. Today I am relaxing and catching up on busywork. I got this question about sharks in September, which sounds very clever but unfortunately it turns out comes from a TV show, and a girl at […]
