My Space

Remember the old social-media site “MySpace”? Yeah, this isn’t about that.

When I say “my space,” I’m referring to a place I get to just be. And honestly, it’s tough to describe because it's not a place at all. Trying to explain it feels like trying to explain the taste of ice cream to a visitor from outer space . . . or being in love to someone who’s never been.

But here’s the good news: you’ve got a space like this too.

I’m reminded of that old song Five O’Clock World:

“But it’s a five o’clock world when the whistle blows—No one owns a piece of my time.”

That’s the feeling. In my space, there’s no pressure. No deadlines. No bells waiting to be rung. You don’t meet your friends there — you meet yourself.

It’s not really a location; it’s more like a state of mind. A little creative cauldron . . . an inner epicenter where things bubble up and surprise you.

And the doorway in? It’s simple. You don’t need a reservation. You just show up ready.

And “ready” means letting go of all your agendas for a little bit. A cluttered mind can’t enter my space. Creativity doesn’t elbow its way into a crowded room — it needs room. It needs . . . well, your space.

If you’ve ever seen a musician or an athlete slip into the zone, you’ve caught a glimpse of it. They’re not straining or pushing; they’re just flowing. It’s almost magical.

But you don’t have to be a world-class athlete or gifted musician. You can enter your own zone — your own “My Space.”

And honestly? It’s good for what ails you. It wakes something up. It makes you feel more alive.

So let me take a poetic swing at describing this land of enchantment that doesn’t exist on any map:


After visiting my space, you become more awake to what’s already here

That which was cloudy becomes abundantly clear.

If you haven’t set up an account yet, know this – It’s free!

All you have to do is stop . . . trying to be.


Let your “to do” list just slip away

If only for a moment, as you create . . . a brand new day.

Calm your breathing and slow your pace

And prepare to enter your zone of expression – My Space.


All the best,

John
