1. Awareness I’ve had this week… We had someone jump off the boat last weekend and, because it was so shallow, she scraped her leg in multiple places on an old tree stump in the water. When I heard the splash, I immediately hoped that whomever hit the water did not dive head first. I…
Relationships can become dysfunctional when one or more of the parties involved enter into that relationship with selfish, criminal, harmful intent. In the last week’s blog, I stated that there are two industries that I don’t care for too much… the insurance industry and the pharmaceutical industry. I wrote about the insurance company in the…
1. Podcast I really loved this week… The Ed Mylett Show is one podcast that I check each week. I don’t listen to every episode, but if the guest catches my attention, I listen to it. He also added a shorter episode each week with just Ed giving success tips. I listened to a few…
As humans, we revel in our relationships. We are pack animals. We need love, connection, and trust when it comes to those we are closest to and love the most. We long for companionship, rely on others for the skills that they have and we lack, and our tribal nature has been essential for our…
1. Cool stuff that happened this past week… This past week, Lana and I celebrated our first anniversary (it was June 3rd, but we celebrated it last Friday), and we celebrated Father’s Day.

1. An inspiring video I saw this week… Here is a short video of a guy sharing some wise, and inspiring, words using a story about a donkey that fell into a well. I’ve seen this guy share other life lessons, and he definitely is a good storyteller. Think about what he is saying. I…
I have always loved, and been fascinated by, magic. There is something about having your mind blown by the unexplained. To see things vanish in thin air… or simply appear out of nowhere… captures our attention and intrigues us like nothing else. Watching a magician at work is great entertainment. Deep down, we know we…
1. Video that moved me this week… I am not sure where I saw it initially, but I watched a video of a chimpanzee, named Limbani, reuniting with her caretakers after six years. I was not able to include the video in this post, but you can click here for the Yahoo news story which…
We have a finite amount of time and energy each day that we live. How we spend that time and energy, therefore, is something worth devoting some attention. Wouldn’t it make sense to apply as much of that time and energy to things that you have some chance of positively affecting? In life, there are…
