Is Google Prophetic?

This is one of my newer websites. It’s also the most personal. I’m sharing my beliefs and experiences, rather than my expertise and experiences. What I noticed is the Google ads that  pop up on my page have me nailed. They know exactly what’s of interest to me. In fact, they could tell my life story. Read More >>

I’ve always heard the importance of having positive energy. It’s been a heck of a journey for me trying to learn, understand, and practice it. I’ve had some breakthroughs recently from a surprising source – The Dog Whisperer. Read More >>

Why Not Both?

There is a quote floating around in a variety of forms. I believe it’s attributed to Sol Gordon. It goes like this: “Happiness is found along the way, not at the end of the road.” It’s another one of those quotes that I usually agree with at first thought. But then I thought, why not both?

I have been fortunate to experience the incredible power of a good friend. The kind of good friend I am referring to is the kind that brings the best out in us.

When I was 17 I knew everything. In one of my many rants, I was discussing belief in God, religion, and spirituality with an older friend. You know, light stuff.

Stop Poisoning Your Thoughts

We spend a lot of time modifying behavior. This is important, but modifying and “eliminating” many of our thoughts is critical. If you’re like me, your mind races. The race can be good. The race can be bad. Good is better. Read More >>

Are You Religious?

Are you religious? I get this question every now and again. What’s interesting is that it’s a loaded question. It’s loaded with hundreds of years of preconception. I struggle with how to answer it.

Big Thinking

In the series “How Can I Be Happy,” we’ve talked about a variety of different ways of thinking. Things like treasuring the small things, eating healthy, “just do it” …etc. Before we go too much further, it’s critical to note that our happiness is not always what we think “happiness” is. Our happiness – or our expectations of happiness – are too small. Read More >>

Finding Beauty In The Smallest Things

My daughter Faith, 6, has an eye for design. She sees ducks in clouds, penguins in leaves. She notices colors and patterns where you wouldn’t expect to see them. Most recently, she noticed a tiny rock in the shape of a heart – she was psyched! It made her happy. Read More >>
