Tune 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…

The Gift of Attention As a child, I was diagnosed with ADD and Dyslexia. That’s a bummer of a combo.

One of my favorite lines from Braveheart is “Every man dies, but not every man truly lives.” Much of society allows circumstances dictate who they are and what they do. They limit their options because they believe a lie that what they want isn’t within their grasp. Extraordinary lives don’t allow circumstances and environment to…

However, this…
