What Would You Do On Purpose?
What Would You Do on Purpose? “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to…
Read MoreTune in to the Goodness
Tune in to the Goodness I’m very deliberate about not hovering over our kids or trying to control them. Rather, I want to give them the space to manifest the ineffable song that plays in their hearts. I’ve resolved that “parents” are what we call the “chief influencers in our early development”. So my efforts go…
Read MoreFaith & Patience
Faith & Patience Recently I wrote about my 2017 New Years Intention to become more patient. Obviously, that’s an ongoing process, and now I’m working into some deeper elements. Ultimately, I’ve come to the conclusion that patience not only requires one to have faith, it also implies that you have faith that what you want or…
Read MoreThe Gift of Attention
The Gift of Attention As a child, I was diagnosed with ADD and Dyslexia. That’s a bummer of a combo. But I’ve spent my life training myself to focus my attention, create habits of concentration, and to develop my own process for reading. The mind is a space full of rooms. Rooms like Happiness, Anger, Stress,…

I love to learn. As an entrepreneur, consultant and activist, I research and study relentlessly. I truly find great joy in the process. I’m a lifelong world traveler and explorer, constantly studying culture, humanity, science and spirituality. It’s not just my work. It’s not part of a graduate program. It’s a lifestyle I’ve chosen deliberately.…

In July of 2014, after almost ten years of living in East Africa between Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya, we decided it was time to reevaluate our geographic location. Africa has been a prevalent aspect of my life since I was just a child, and after a decade of living and working there, it has become…
Read MoreThe Year of Your Perspective Bank
At our core, I believe each of us operates according to our perspective. Our beliefs, judgments, actions, inactions, fears, loves, desires and infatuations are founded in our perspective. Each of us has an perspective bank full of experiences that happened to us or that we specifically sought out. We don’t choose the environment we…
Read MoreWrite A Story Worth Telling
We’ve all contemplated the questions, “what is life about” and “why are we here”. I contemplate them daily. There’s almost a gravitational pull towards letting life get away from us. Life tends to live us, rather than the other way around. But we all have an opportunity to paint a beautiful picture on the canvas…
Read MoreThe Power of Perspective
What is perspective? It’s how we view the world; the lens we see through. It’s the platform from which we make decisions. It dictates how we react to the world around us. Every experience influences our perspective. The more experiences we have, the more robust and powerful our perspective becomes. Life happens, and those experiences…
Read MoreWhat Wolf Will You Feed?
This Cherokee proverb is quite popular, and seems to keep coming up on my radar. It’s simple, but profound. One evening, an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil, full of anger, envy,…
