Couples Money or a Colonoscopy I got together with my friends, Chris and Marlow Felton, today. They wrote an amazing book, Couples Money. We got to talking about how important it is for couples to be on the same page about money (80% plus of all divorces have a money component to them). But this […]

It Must Be Me Let’s imagine a purely hypothetical situation where you go play volleyball with three friends ~ hypothetically named Roman, Karen, and Mike. And in said volleyball playing – you manage to lose every game regardless of who your partner was. Furthermore, they all seemed to play their worst game of the night […]

More About Comparison
August 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment
More About Comparison My week of fishing in Alaska has shown me over and over just how destructive comparison can be. I saw many instances of people getting frustrated, mad, depressed, apathetic, and disappointed because someone was catching more salmon than they were. (I had my moments of this too.) Obviously when this happens, the […]
Not Having Fun

Not Having Fun When we notice that we aren’t having fun, we have 3 options. Option 1 is to soldier on and keep doing it anyway.

Are You Refueling Or Running On Empty? Tues -7/29

Are You Refueling Or Running On Empty? Most people are not very good at acknowledging (much less celebrating) progress. When we fail to do this, we deprive ourselves of fuel – excitement, enthusiasm, self-confidence, feelings of well-being, happiness. When we lack fuel, we feel tired and burned out. Inspired action and a positive attitude become […]
Is It Really Worth It?
July 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Is it really worth it? This morning I asked myself this question, “Is this really worth getting your undies in a twist over?” The answer was, “of course not!!!” But I was getting myself upset over a minor thing, and talking to myself in my head about it. I stopped because it wasn’t worth it. […]
