As someone who is very interested in current events, politics, sports, and more – I pay a lot of attention to the news (sometimes more than is probably healthy for me). I read my newspapers (San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, NY Times), check the Internet (CNN.com, HuffingtonPost.com, ESPN.com. MLB.com, and others), watch TV (CNN, MSNBC, … Read more
I often find myself running around – going from task to task, meeting to meeting, event to event – just trying to get to the “end,” (which, by the way, never comes). I have recently been listening to the incredible class that Oprah is doing with Eckart Tolle on his book The New Earth (which … Read more
With Super (Duper) Tuesday tomorrow, I felt compelled to write about Barack Obama. I often get nervous to passionately express my political views too loudly as I don’t want to offend anyone, be too pushy, or to turn off or push away people who may think or feel differently.

Hey there…happy new year. Can I still say that, even though we are about two weeks into the new year already? I guess it still works for another few days.

On this day of Thanks and Gratitude, I want to take this opportunity to first of all thank YOU for your interest and support of me and my work. I cannot fully express in words what it means to me to have people read what I write and listen to me speak. I don’t say … Read more
First of all, I want to acknowledge that it has been two and half months since I last posted to this blog. 🙂 I had gotten into a great habit of posting about once a week and then my book launched on August 28th (the date of my last post). Needless to say I have … Read more
My new book, FOCUS ON THE GOOD STUFF: The Power of Appreciation, officially came out last week! It has been a very busy and exciting time (hence I have not posted to this blog in a few weeks). Today, 8/28/07, we are running a special online launch campaign! When you purchase Focus on the Good … Read more
From time to time I find myself “trying” to be some way I think I am supposed to be. Whether it is as a father, a friend, a son, a husband, a speaker, a citizen, or any other “title” I have for myself in life, I have struggled at times in my life and still … Read more
