Hi, sweet friends. I have something to tell you today and I’m guessing some of you will be able to relate. I’ll explain in the video why I opted for a video message today instead of my typical written format. Here’s to taking time to: Unplug. Rest and recharge. Reflect. Be still. Listen. Write privately. Make room […]
I’ve heard from many of you after last week’s Tiny Habits post, that you’re excited and hopeful in creating your own Tiny Habits. Whether it’s a new habit we’re trying to master or a large project that looms before us, the act of breaking things down into small, manageable chunks makes it seem doable and even fun. This got me thinking about other powerful “tiny” things. Namely… Tiny blessings. Have you noticed that the big, headline-worthy, miracle-sized blessings get all the attention? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for big blessings and they […]
Over the last couple months, I’ve found myself saying one of these types of sentences every Sunday evening (comes out as a very convincing self-pep-talk, by the way): “OK!

Have you ever made a mistake and were treated as if you’d just committed the biggest sin in the world? Have you ever had your heart broken? Have you ever suffered a horrific loss? Have you ever felt so depressed you didn’t want to get out of bed? Have you ever experienced anxiety? Have you […]
Tragedy. Pain. Terror. Suffering. Sadness. Fear. Injustice. Evil. Are you feeling overcome by all the tragedy that’s going on in the world today? I am. As the death toll rises due to the horrific actions of a madman in Nice, France this week, I’m thinking of the individual lives that have been stolen away. Who were they? […]
Have you ever seen something horrible take place and you feel like you–just one little person–have no way of making a difference that will matter? This feeling of powerlessness comes from a belief that you have no control over your environment. Your environment including your own personal space, the space around your closest relationships, your […]
When’s the last time you sat down and tried to learn something new from a young person? A time in which you actually asked them to show you how to do something? Whether it be how to draw a dinosaur from a 7-year-old, how to perform a dance move from a 10-year-old, or how to solve a math problem from a […]
Have you ever tried to say or do something and it feels like you have a golf ball stuck in your throat? This is how I’ve felt as I’ve attempted to work through my feelings in order to write this post this week. I’ve been thinking about love. Brotherly love. I’ve been thinking about heartache, pain and suffering. The […]
As summer rolls around, there will be lots of opportunities to do stuff. It’s a nice feeling when we have time, choices, and a variety of opportunities in front of us, but just make sure you’re not making decisions based on the fear of missing out. Fear of missing out, or FOMO, is when a person experiences anxiety […]
