How to avoid missing the best days of your life, part 1

You're probably right. After all, we're so bloody busy these days that we'll walk right by genius and not even notice (go read the story and come back here. I'll wait). We'll pass by stunning natural beauty and not even blink an eye.

Lychees, Ohio, and Evocation

While a bunch of folks were at Blogworld in Vegas this past weekend, I and a few other intrepid seekers got on a plane at Logan Airport in Boston to head to... Dayton, Ohio! Instead of the Strip, we headed to the Dayton Quest Center for a seminar with Stephen K. Hayes called Evocation.

No, I'm not headed to Vegas and Blogworld

Just to clarify some confusion, I'm not headed to Vegas or Blogworld this week, though many of my friends are, and I wish them safe travels and good luck if they decide to hit the tables. I'm instead headed to Dayton, Ohio later this week for a transformative conference/seminar called Evocation, hosted by my teacher's teacher, Stephen K. Hayes. Here's the agenda - as far as I know, there's still space if you'd like to attend and can get to Dayton, Ohio.
