Putting it to the Test
I’ve been searching for my old mountain bike for about six years now. Off and on. I’d mostly given up. But now I’m going to put my luck to the test. I’m not going to give up, going to double down my efforts and I am determined to succeed. I bought the bike in the

Don’t P in the Bike Lane
As a bicyclist, there’s a number of annoying things I’ve encountered in the Bike Lane: cars, pedestrians, pot holes. Any number of things. But this sign covers the most important thing of all… Don’t P in the bike lane. It’s been a week since I posted about things I’ve considered lucky. And I don’t want

Do Extroverts Wear Fun T-Shirts?
I once read somewhere that if you want to meet more people, wear a t-shirt that has an inspirational quote or something that reveals your hobbies and passions. Theoretically people will approach you and make a comment about it. Is that true? Today I bought a shirt from my small town’s coffee shop hangout. We’ll

Lucky Strawberries
Today I found the exact strawberry variety I was looking for. I was at a big box store yesterday and though they had a ton of strawberry plants, they were all mystery variety. Walked into a small hardware store today and shazam, there they were. When I went to checkout, the cashier told me I

Finally Met My Neighbor
I’ve been here 5 years and I’ve rarely talked to the neighbor across the street. I don’t know if they are elusive and avoidant, or I am. But of course, I’m not going to be like that anymore, right? The other day I walked down the ally behind their house and noticed it was filled

No More Luck Journals
I’ve decided to no longer have dedicated blog posts as numbered luck journals for my Luck Factor book adventures. It’s so ingrained in my daily life now that anytime I write something it’s sure to be included. Like today. Went to the coffee shop and met someone new. I’ve never bumped into him before because

Luck Journal 10
“Luck Journal” seems to be sticking around. Wondering if I should quit with the enumerated titles and go back to normal ones? Maybe this will be the last one. Though of course, I still plan to chronicle things that I felt were lucky for the day. Today I went to the coffee shop first thing

Luck Journal 9
More putting myself out there. Today I performed Concrete Blonde’s Joey at the local open mic. It was great and I got a lot of positive feedback. Also bumped into someone who encouraged me to come check out a local non-profit and consider getting involved. And it points to something I’ve always dreamed of… touching

Luck Journal 8
More expanding my network today, Principle 1. Today I dropped into a public city meeting of one of the committees. I arrived on bicycle and happened to pull up at the same time as the mayor. We chatted for a few minutes. Overall, I met well over dozen people. One I recognized from Rotary Club

Luck Journal 7
The Luck Factor has entered my dreams. I had a dream last night that there was a contest of some kind. And the competition was so ridiculous that I turned out to be the only contestant. So, no matter how poorly I scored, I won. And the prize was a pair of colorful pants that
