Make it a Great Monday: OUT THERE

Make Anything
Dear youngest,
 
Lucy May Singletary
My little visionary
Not at all ordinary
I have a precautionary
 
Tale
for you
And I shall
Tell it like this
 
Like many others
My sisters, my brothers
I had not a clue
How to ever eschew
 
This frustration
Of being in isolation
Anti-visitation
Covid insulation
 
Stuck
We’ve all been stuck
In this muck
Yuck, Yuck, Yuck
 
Any golf shrink
Teaches you to think
The game is played
“OUT THERE”
 
That holds true
Through and through
When your game is
SALES
 
It too,
is played
OUT THERE
 
Not in your head
Not in your bed
Not something you’ve read
 
You’ve got to get
OUT THERE
 
Zoom call
my ass
I’d be happy
If it was my last
 
It is time
To climb
Back on
the proverbial horse
 
Get out on the course
No more remorse
Let me reinforce
The game is played
OUT THERE
 
And away, I went
Back on the scent
With a British accent
 
I won’t lament
About what it meant
Nor will I vent
About another event
 
Autodesk,
One Team
Like living a dream
Nashville,
the Music City
Get pretty
Get gritty
Get witty
It’s a
gPage ditty
 
A world gone silly
A little chilly
Saw Dolly and Jack
But not Willie
 
This too shall pass
Covid KICKED our ass
Superpowers invade
We all feel betrayed
 
My head is spinning
The world is winning
Back in the game
Never the same
 
But let’s stay positive
It’s our prerogative
You got to stay whole
Deep in your soul
 
Colleagues and friends
It just depends
Where the road bends
How it all ends
 
What is your superpower?
Building a balloon tower
Habits at work
Don’t be a jerk
 
What a day
Lucy May
It is the right way
to play
 
OUT THERE!!!!

NUGGETS began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) All these years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets. Plus, Mum and Dad up and moved to England. Those are my daughters above, and their guiding light – truly my every gPage Singletary thing.

RELEVANCE: From Beginning to End

How do you find and enjoy a place of purpose when you start your career, throughout your career, and when you stop ‘working’ and use your wisdom, resources, and skills to give back to the world? That’s right, from beginning to end. You don’t have to settle for doing things you do not enjoy.

Dear Harvey: Staying in the Game

In the end, Harvey, you left us your Little Red Book—a lifetime of lessons condensed into something small enough to fit in a pocket, yet broad enough to guide generations. These letters are my attempt, in a much humbler way, to do the same—to gather what the game has taught me so far, and to keep discovering what lies at the edges.

Lateral Thinking & AI: The Future of Making

Lateral Thinking + AI is a five-part Make Anything Thursday series exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping not just the tools we use, but the way we think. From systems-level insight to the power of lateral thinking, the series connects AI with the human imagination — showing how creators, leaders, and future makers can thrive in a world where machines accelerate the work and our thinking elevates it.
