This is unlike any episode I’ve done before. It is a travel journal. Join me as I share the experience of traveling over 2,000 miles by land and going on a cruise with 5 kids. You’ll hear about our very special day on CocoCay, Bahamas, where I asked Elizabeth to marry me and she said […]
Those of us who have traveled with kids are very familiar with the question “are we there yet?” It’s usually asked in a whiny tone so we all know the child is not enjoying the journey and wants it to be over now. Many of us set goals and live our lives with an “are […]

This may work for a short time, but that success won’t last because it was acquired through competition and force. I don’t see that expressed in nature. The real […]
Overwhelm is a feeling of being buried by a massive weight. This feeling is epidemic throughout our society. The persistent state of overwhelm impacts our personal and professional lives, our relationships, our health, and our culture in general. It’s easy to point the finger at others as the source of our overwhelm, but it’s not […]
