The Power of the Invisible World

Recently I have been listening to and reading a lot of great material from some of the authors, speakers, and teachers who most inspire me like Wayne Dyer, Richard Carlson, Harv Eker, Ram Dass, Werner Erhard, and others. One theme that I continue to hear through the messages of these and other wonderful teachers is … Read more

Step Out

On July 11th 1998 I had a life-altering conversation with my Uncle Steve. I was in an incredibly vulnerable, open, and confused place in my life. With my baseball career over at the age of 24, I was terrified about the future and not sure what to do next. In my heart, I knew I … Read more

Ask For What You Want

Last weekend we were at a birthday party for a seven year old friend of ours in the neighborhood named Dylan. As we were leaving his party, Samantha (our 15 month old daughter) was motioning towards the balloons that were tied to the fence. She wanted one of the balloons.

Early last week I had a great conversation with my friend Sean. He was sensing some stress, fear, and pressure within me and asked me about it.

And, many of us live our daily lives completely unconscious about our shadows (the … Read more

Connecting with God

Last night Michelle and I watched The Celestine Prophecy. This movie, based on the 1995 best-selling book by James Redfield, is incredible. I am so glad that we watched it, for a number of reasons. First of all, I have been embarrassed for many years that I never got around to reading this book, since … Read more

Appreciating Our Money

Hey there… I want to talk about one of the most “taboo” subjects in our culture, MONEY! It seems ironic to me that this topic is so taboo, since almost everything we do, much of our work, and a lot of our lives are focused around making money, saving money, having money, not having enough … Read more

The Secret

Hey there… By now most of you have probably heard about, seen, or read The Secret, right? It has been all over the place. In addition to many people, like me, writing about it, emailing people about it, and talking about it for the past year since it was released, it has now become a … Read more
