I was on a boat the other day when I received a text. I was being asked a question that required me to jump online and check an email. I was able to get the answer, take a snapshot of it, and send the answer back to the person via text. I could do all…
1. Cool video footage I re-watched this week… I am a fan of drones,… and I am a fan of fireworks. So, the two together is a definite hit. My brother had sent this video a few years ago (thanks, Greg!), and I re-watched it this week. It is a drone flying through a huge…
While pulling in to a large shopping plaza two weekends ago, I saw a fairly young, fit man standing on the corner, holding a sign, asking for money. The sign indicated that he had lost his job and needed money to pay his house payment and to support his family. While I am sympathetic to…
1. Something cool I saw last weekend… While pulling into a large shopping plaza last weekend I heard, and then saw, two gentlemen playing music in an open corner in the parking lot. The one was playing the violin, the other playing a keyboard. There was a large speaker projecting the music loud enough that…
I have heard numerous stories lately from friends and patients in which they inadvertently offended another person. And of course, you can’t read or listen to the news without hearing about someone expressing serious disgust because of how they were treated by another person.

1. Wording I’m working on this week… I have read about it before (and you likely have also), but this week I read it again. We know words are VERY powerful. Simply using the words “I get to” instead of “I have to” can have a profound effect on your attitude, enthusiasm, and outcomes. After…

Books, audio programs, seminars, and the internet can provide an endless amount of content on “how to be successful.” Experts (and a whole lot of so-called experts) share, and have…
Ask a high school student what their plans are after they graduate, and many will likely tell you that they will go to college, get a job, start a family, and someday, probably around sixty-five years old, will retire. The reason they say this is because this is what they know. This is what most…
1. Documentary I watched… I recently watched the documentary Fantastic Fungi. It is so good! (Thanks for the recommendation, Jack!) I love learning more about things I think I already know and understand. The medicinal potential of mushrooms is incredible. They are extremely powerful, amazingly safe, cannot be patented, and treatments utilizing mushrooms (for difficult…
1. Biggest news this week… Well… Lana and I got married last week! We kept it small and simple, with just us and our six children. We did it on the beach in Costa Rica and packed in some adventure around it. The trip was incredible, the weather was perfect, and the wedding was amazing.…
