I was speaking with some friends the other day about our countries current hardships. The topic of passion came up, in regards to what we do for a living, and I was taken back regarding the groups point of view. A majority of them agreed that it was nearly impossible to show passion in a [...]
John Lennon said it best, “Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.”
What a wise person. I didn’t know how my six-year old was going to fair in her third new school in three years; but she didn’t disappoint my ex-wife or me. She jumped out of the car and [...]
I believe strongly in the majority of happy people in this world know or either have a strong idea of what their life’s purpose is and how to fulfill it. This is by no means an easy task. To know without a shred of doubt why you are here on this earth is not something [...]
It’s that time of year again. We are starting a new tradition for the girls this year – we’re going camping.

Yesterday I was constantly reminding my three year old to put on her flip-flops as she dashed by me on the deck. My kids were in and out of the pool all day – having fun. I kept telling her, “You’re going to get a splinter.”
This morning, my manifestation was realized. I was not [...]
