It seems like everywhere I look there’s a person, product or program telling me how to cram more stuff into my day.
How to get up at the crack of dawn so that I can have more hours to workworkwork.
Or how to burn through my to-do list faster, better and sexier than ever before.
Or how to [...]
Less stuck. Less struggle. More awesome.

Sound Off #2 – A Taser For The Monkey Mind
This is the blog-ey bit where you get to toss out whatever sound-ey sort of questions you want, and I answer them.
Kind of like a Dear Abby for sound stuff.
But with less angst. More fun. And ninjas.
We can yack it up about how this sound stuff works.
Or get all geekity about instruments.
Or talk about [...]
Now That’s Ninjarific #4: The Rapping Buddhist Edition
One of the best things about the interwebs is that it’s filled with lots of groovy stuff.
I mean, sure, it’s also filled with lots of crap and bunches of snooze. But some stuff is so ninjarific that it just begs to be shared.
Thus the advent of the Now That’s Ninjarific series.
Now I have a place [...]
Rhythms & Retreats
Jen Louden (aka The Comfort Queen) is hosting the all-kinds-of-awesome Virtual Retreat in like twelve days.
Yay!
And Jen ever so kindly asked me to present at the retreat!
Double yay!
So here’s a short video of me yacking about how to find your right rhythm. And why retreating totally helps you to do that.

My Legion of Mucho Mojo: The Hey Ho, Let’s Go! Edition
So I already told you that I hired Joey Ramone as my life coach, right?
And, seriously, it was one of my best decisions ever.
But the other day, when I looked at the list of awesome I want to rock this year, I kind of had a Scooby Doo moment.
Ruhroh Shaggy!
It’s not that the list is [...]
You Are Not Your Stories
I spend a lot of time hanging out with stories.
Because pretty much everybody that comes to me for sound-ey stuff wants the same thing.
To turn the volume up on the awesome in their life.
Yeah, one person may be crazy stuck and want help shifting it.
And another person might be knee deep in struggle and totally [...]
When A Bang Becomes A Fizzle Fo’shizzle
So it’s 2010.
Yay!
This is the time of year when there’s tons o’ talk about resolutions. And goals. And stuff of much awesomeness to make happen in 2010.
Everywhere you look everyone seems totally stoked. And totally ready to rock.
Which is awesome.
Except that sometimes this totally-stoked-and-ready-to-rock thing is like a sugar high.
Super charged.
Short lived.
Fabulous at the time.
And [...]
Hey, thanks 2009!
Dear 2009,
Wow.
I mean, seriously.
Wow.
You’ve totally blown me away. Not just because somehow it’s already December. But because you’ve managed to pack a ton of awesome into the last twelve months.
Don’t get me wrong. There was some stuff that sucked.
Like watching Mom get older. And have a hard time dancing on Thursdays. Or keeping up her [...]
The Songs That Saved My Life
But don’t forget the songs,
That made you cry,
And the songs that saved your life,
Yes, you’re older now,
And you’re a clever swine,
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you.
- from Rubber Ring by The Smiths
So the other day I was on the twitters chatting with the fabulous Hayden. (She’s @haydentompkins. Check her out. [...]
Joey Ramone Is My Life Coach
My name is Fabeku. And I’m a perfectionist.
Well, recovering perfectionist.
At least most days I’m recovering. It’s a process.
I’ve been a perfectionist for as long as I can remember.
I’m pretty sure I picked up this brutal method of self-torture way of doing stuff when I was a little kid.
It all started with a report card. And [...]
Relearning How To Listen
Life is amazingly noisy.
You are surrounded by sound pretty much everywhere you go.
Some of it’s awesome.
Your favorite tunes spinning on the iPod.
The voice of someone you really dig.
Giggling like a gooney bird at something funny.
Some of it sucks.
Horns honking in rush hour traffic.
Roofers bang-bang-banging away right next door.
Someone screaming at their kid in the checkout [...]
Now That’s Ninjarific #3 – The Do Epic Shit Edition
