Two and a half years. It’s a long time… and a short time. That’s how long my wife Shelly has been gone from our family. My sweetheart. The woman I’d built my world around. The mother of my six children. My eternal companion, left this earth to be with our Father in heaven two and…

Sometimes, I’m NOT nice. Recently, I received a message from a mother who described to me how she was really struggling with her strong-willed kiddo. So, in an effort to help, I asked her for her phone number to call her so we could chat and maybe I could be of some assistance. As she…

Can YOU Change the World? I have a surprise for you. You probably already have… for at least someone. What I do for a living has allowed me to be in the company of some pretty extraordinary people. Luckily, I’ve had the opportunity to be around people who’ve built multi-million dollar businesses and people who’ve…

Recently, I’ve had to take a good, long, hard, look inside myself. And it’s pushed me to a place where I’ve had to battle with my inner demons. And believe me. I’ve GOT EM! Why? It’s simple. Over the past few weeks my more severe son on the spectrum (he’s now 24) has gotten very…

“If you work hard and set that as a goal, YOU CAN DO IT, TOO.” That’s what my buddy said, after my kids asked him, “How’d you do it?” One of the things I’ve always struggled with… even to this day… is belief in myself and what I may be capable of. Frankly, way too…

Where can our kids learn how to navigate “troubled waters?” I’ve got a good friend who was recently telling me about an acquaintance that had lost his wife more than a year ago. In his words… “The kids lost both parents when they lost their mom.” I was saddened. But I get it. When my…

Just because you don’t SEE us… doesn’t mean… There’s a very interesting and revealing (almost throw-away) scene in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 that was SO powerful when I saw it that I had to leave the room so my kids wouldn’t see me. In the scene, Drax is remembering his daughter and wife,…

There’s a real happy vibe in our home. Recently I was alerted to a young man who had taken his own life only about a year after the passing of his mother. As I was told the news the sweet lady sharing the news said, “I get it. It makes sense. He lost his Mom.…
