Laugh, Explore & Understand
With the advent of NFT minting, I began to create graphic art posts for the Ocean See platform. I was required to establish a cryptic wallet and buy Ethereum currency.
The cryptocurrency market is volatile with massive swings in value at this time. My goal is to create and mint over one thousand NFTs in several categories including the Mary Boleyn Hospice Foundation Inc.org. This is in timing with the annual CF awareness month of May.
Here are a few examples of favorites at this time.
This is real progress. I have taken another step in understanding how the social media world functions. Here are several things I have learned in the last few days.
I love trial and error, well not the error part so much. A culmination of struggles and triumphs has resulted in five lessons being created for the website Learning Management System LMS.
I look forward to looking back on this startup as both humorous and with pride.
Here are some lessons from youtube.
I have often spoken about events in my life that have been pivotal or hinge points. It has come with an awareness of being in the here and now to recognize it for what it is and to know I was in the right place at the right time. It happened with Lambda Crystal when I saw the potential in Canada enough to start an importing company. That recognition led to over seventeen years of self-employment, an international business, global travel, fantastic life experiences both good and not so good.
I am excited about the potential of becoming an Amazon Partner in logistics and further developing a business income in the States as well as international expansion for Rapidgo. So many things to think about and consider.
My life is about to change significantly over the next while.
I got this! This moment has been made for me. So many things from years past have come together to define this moment in my life.
James, I am so proud of you!

The greatest journey starts with a single step – somebody said that.\n\nIn November 2015, I bought a Success Magazine with Tim Ferris on the front cover, arms crossed, showing all the focus of a large predatory cat daring anyone to challenge his future path. Success Magazine having been part of my early years of business development for “go to” inspiration. It had descended into more or less oblivion over the last few years as I re-established myself in my country of alma mater.\n\nIncluded with the magazine was a CD with an interview with Tim Ferris. I had read Tim’s book The Four Hour Workweek some eight years before and found it absolutely fascinating.\n\n
I set out on an adventure on Dec 28, 2015. It included a change in eating habits and better exercise to lose 25-30 lbs in thirty days. By the end of January 2016, I had shed twenty pounds. It was not easy, however, it was rewarding. It reminded me of losing thirty pounds in my last month of serving with the Army in Berlin in May 1970. Admittedly, my metabolism was younger then, however, I was convinced I could do it again.
Two habits changed that led to the weight loss. First, I followed a slow carb diet, Mediterranian style, recommended by the “Four Hour Workweek” author, Tim Ferris. The inclusion of beans at every meal has been shown to increase weight loss. I agree. Not only did I feel satiated for longer, I am convinced the slow carb effect led to faster weight loss.
The second habit was exercise. I have a treadmill and elliptical unit close at hand. I began with 20 minutes on the treadmill and worked my way up to 90 minutes on the combined machines. It took two weeks of 5 days a week, average, to reach a daily weight loss of a pound or more.
At 67 years young, this was the proof I needed to believe that age should not be a deterrent to rapid weight loss. Additionally, I, once again, exhibited the grit that I have shown my whole life to achieve a long-term goal. I have been able to maintain the weight loss and establish a new “set point” for my weight in the 175 lb mark. I have established an exercise habit that will, hopefully, remain with me the rest of my life. I have been prone to exercise on a regular basis for most of my life. Now, I am even more focused and driven to keep a five day a week program going that keeps my body and mind as invigorated as possible.
Good me!
See the difference between December 2, 2015, and March 2016
I look like a very old man!
This is how I want to look from now on.
