Formats can be wonderful things, but sometimes they need to be thrown out. This issue I’m experimenting with a new layout. Enjoy the scenery On The Twisting Road!
The last time I posted a newsletter was a couple of weeks ago. Looks like I took myself seriously when I wrote, “I want the freedom and flexibility to write and publish… articles when I am moved and inspired. I’m not every week. I’m not predictable like clockwork.” Looks like I’m not even predictable like calendar work.
I have still been writing articles. I posted another Burger Bite to help you sample coaching:
“Burger Bites: Inquiry”
There are aspects of coaching that touch on deep wisdom. Not the ordinary wisdom that is pragmatic. Coaching has plenty of that, with specific goals and detailed plans, next steps and ways for clients to make sure they do something.

Two weeks have passed, so I have posted twice to the TRAVEL LOG:
“What Just Happened?”
My plan to return to posting this blog on Fridays ran into my busy schedule. Friday I was on a field trip with my younger son’s class, then taking him to the pre-test session for Tae Kwon Do before rushing to try to see part of my older son’s soccer game.

Both blog posts can be found here…
The trip to the farm featured in “What Just Happened?” also inspired this month’s ANYTHING BUT MARKETING! article:
“It Really Can Be Simple”
I’ve been talking and writing about a less formal, more organic, more comfortable approach to marketing for a couple of years now. I’ve given examples right here of ways to see marketing so you can approach it naturally, with authenticity and ease. But I don’t think I really “got it” until I saw that vision being lived out. The roasted marshmallows might have helped…

I hope you find some of these ideas helpful to you as you figure out your own calling and turn your vision into reality.
Remember, if you like what you read, please tell your family and friends. If you don’t like something, please tell me!
Thanks for Joining Me on the Ride,
Steve Coxsey
