Can you change the world
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…

Inner demons
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…

Why God? Why?!
I was SHOCKED at the power of the storm. It may not surprise you to learn that after my wife Shelly passed away, it was a bit overwhelming emotionally for me to go into my bedroom for more than a few minutes at a time. But I knew eventually, I’d have to face that anxiety…

Rage tears?
From angry and bitter to tears of happiness… in the blink of a… NEW SCRIPT? As you can imagine after my wife of 30 years passed away suddenly I found my self in a bit of… well, dismay. What I was COMPLETELY unprepared for was the discovery that SO MANY things in my life reminded…

Just because you don’t…

A happy vibe
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.…

She went first
This may sound a bit odd, but I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I find myself thankful for something a bit weird. Obviously… I am thankful for the time that Shelly and I had together. I am thankful for the struggle, and the trials and the money problems and the kid problems and…

People… meh
Why are other people so hard to get along with? Why are they SO seemingly stupid? Why do they frustrate us SO much? The reason is simple. Almost always… the reason is… But first. Let me share a story—a parable, really—that I heard from author Jack Christenson to make this crystal clear. One of Jack’s…
