In the summer of 2003, I took Shannon with me on a road trip, just the two of us. She was at an important age, going into the eighth grade, which in my own [...]

First dates are perhaps the best example ever of energy bubbles and making those first important energetic connections with someone else. That’s because there are few other situations where we are thrust into an environment with a new person and expected to stay and hold our own for at [...]

In every dysfunctional family, there’s at least one do-goodin’ peacemaker who is either a blood relative, an in-law, or a “concerned family friend.” Ironically, it’s usually not so much about making peace among hostile relatives [...]

Occasionally I get questions on the books sold through this site, particularly on ones I’ve written. I frequently write new articles that are related to some of these books and new insights that have arisen since they were published. Some of those articles will be incorporated into future editions, but for now, they’re [...]

Every year around this time, I do a little life coaching exercise that’s featured in Give Your Life Direction. The idea is to make a list of things I wish I could say but, for whatever reason, can’t. Maybe because the other person is dead. Maybe because it [...]
