Uncomfortable Conversations

Uncomfortable Conversations

Blog by Rick0 comments

Conversations around things like racial justice, reproductive rights, feminism, or fat phobia might be uncomfortable for you. Often we silence ourselves and opt out of these conversations because of a lot of different reasons.  We might feel ignorant about the subject, or be wary of accidentally causing harm to someone.

Blueprints

Blog by Rick0 comments

Blueprints are great for constructing a building that works for when the blueprint was drawn, but if circumstances and times change, the blueprint quickly becomes obsolete. Especially in uncertain times, we want clear, tested, de-risked answers to life. And why wouldn’t we? If you could have the exact blueprint to […]

Partnerships

Blog by Rick0 comments

Human relationships are work. Even the best partnerships all require effort, whether that’s in life, friendship, love, or business. We’re conditioned to think that when we find the perfect partner or partners, everything will magically work out, but that’s isn’t really accurate. It is true that there will be people […]

Monster Mask

Blog by Rick0 comments

I created a melting skeleton face mask out of plaster bandages, latex, epoxy clay, and cotton, and painted it up.  It’s custom-fit to my face, and it looks pretty horrifically amazing.  It’s still uncomfortable to wear, at least in comparison to me not wearing any mask.  Interesting how that’s exactly […]

Coincidental Parrot

Blog by Rick0 comments

The other day I was woken up by the shrill, banshee-like cry of a bird. It was so loud I thought it was hanging outside my bedroom window, but it turned out it was in our backyard on the other side of the house.  The bird was screeching, and I […]

Exaggeration

Blog by Rick0 comments

Exaggeration happens when we’re not feeling like we’re enough.  When we’re enough, there’s no need to inflate sales numbers if we’re confidently performing. There’s no need to front that you’re a huge fan of a musician when you’ve only heard one song. There’s no need to say you’re an expert […]

Anticipation vs Preparation

Anticipation vs Preparation

Blog by Rick0 comments

Anticipation is awaiting a certain outcome. It’s waiting for the end of a sentence or wringing your hands for the next episode of your favorite show to drop. There is no action required to anticipate something, beyond thinking about it.  Preparation is taking action to create contingency plans. It’s creating […]

Near Death Experiences

Blog by Rick0 comments

There have been two times in my life that I could have died, and a third that could have left me paralyzed from the neck down.  Fortunately, I’m still here (no, this isn’t a ghost) and I’m very grateful to be able to have full functionality of my extremities.  While […]

My Own Worst Enemy

Blog by Rick0 comments

Oftentimes, we’re our own worst enemy, or largest hurdle to success.  You might find yourself asking someone to please tell you why, yet again, you’re procrastinating instead of working, putting off having a hard conversation that needs to happen, or finding yourself slumped over your desk having slept with your […]

(Reality) Reality

Blog by Rick0 comments

It makes sense that virtual reality is really cool.  We’d love to be able to do things that we can’t often do in reality, or might not be safe to do in reality.  Whether that’s exploring a zombie apocalypse, or walking on a plank suspended off the ledge of a […]
