Life is too short to stay in one place!
When I was 10, my dad was killed by a drunk driver. He was 32 years old. I remember that night more clearly than any of my childhood. That evening turned out to be the single most defining moment of my life, and it meant that I grew up without a father. My last memory [...]
Sunday morning is the sweet spot of the weekend where you are relaxed from the efforts of last week and not yet stressed about your upcoming schedule. You know, kinda like the peaceful feeling you get from watching elephants bathe each other and then roll around in the mud. Settle in with a cup of [...]
The wrong kind of book club is as boring as watching paint dry. The right kind of book club will show the world in a different light, bring you closer to your friends, and give you a reason to get tipsy and laugh maniacally once a month (besides your period, that is). A great book [...]
Editor’s Note: March 15, 2012, 12:01 a.m. Pacific to 11:59 p.m. Pacific. Be there or be square. Get your free copy of Strip Off Your Fear during that time and then pay it forward by buying a copy for a friend tomorrow. It’s a love fest of naked confidence for us all! The Scene: It [...]
It is November of last year and I’m writing a book about overcoming fear, and it is not going well. The words are not flowing, and the few that do make it through are – to put it bluntly – shit. After 30,000 nuggets of shit, I decided to call a halt to this project. [...]

Think about the last time an idea really intrigued you. Were you pushing your boundaries, standing on the precipice of a leap that could bring you something [...]
I used to believe that love was enough – enough for a successful marriage, and enduring friendship, a strong family connection. Once you proclaimed your love, it was sufficient to weather any storm…right? (Stop laughing guys. I can hear you, you know.) It wasn’t until I went through a few rough patches in my [...]
Today we are excited to share this guest post from Courtney Carver, author of the blog Be More with Less. Courtney’s story is inspiring and has helped us to realize the importance of not taking our health for granted. We are sure you will enjoy her perspective. In 2004 I moved across the country in search of [...]
At the risk of sounding like the charismatic leader of a religious cult (still on my bucket list, by the way), I’m going to advocate something new the next time you have a significant decision or opportunity in front of you. Think about what we would do with the same decision in front of us. [...]
