So Hello.

This is my very first post on my personal blog. Yikes.

AND hooray!

Last year about this time, I decided to sell my busines. Quietly and without fanfare (my choice), it all became official at the end of 2018 when I e-signed a few documents at my kitchen counter one cold rainy morning.

Whew, I can’t explain how weird it is after years and years (and did I say years) of working and dreaming and growing a business to just one day — well, NOT do that. Don’t get me wrong, I still care about the team at Brains on Fire and will always play a role in it’s growth. But I am not as involved in the day to day work.

I’ve been writting for over thirteen years at Brains on Fire. In my amazing career as Courageous President at Brains on Fire, I’ve also co-authored two books, spoken all over the nation and even in other parts of the world. I’ve met so many incredible people and worked alongside some of the brightest, shiniest people on the planet.

I miss that some days. Most days to be truthful. Honestly I do.

I woke up this morning and realized that I also REALLY miss writing. And I can change that. I don’t have to miss that.

Writing’s like a muscle, you use it or you lose it.

And I don’t want to lose it…

So here I am. Starting over. And thinking outloud in this new space. I will work on the name of this site soon. Robbinphillips.com is pretty freaking predictible and ordinary of me. Don’t you think? Hmmmm.

Ideas welcome.

I put this photo on my first post because I can honestly remember that time in my life so well. My two children were small and sweet and so full of joy. Life was busy in a way that makes time fly and sort of stand sill at the same time. In this photo I couldn’t even find the time to brush my hair much less dream about life as I know it now.

Strange how that works out.

That tiny little fact scares me and excites me when I look at this snapshot of a happy memory in time.

I’m so ready to let desire simply drive my days, to learn to relax and play a bit. To wander. To create more beautiful memories. And make more amazing relationships.

I am NOT ready to retire, but I am ready to UNwind a bit. And find some new adventures.

So. Want to come with me?

I think it will be fun! And promise to share it all. The good and the bad. The happy and the sad. You ready?

Let’s GO!
