It’s my birthday!

I am officially closing out one decade – decade! – and moving into a new one, and I’m reeeeaaaally looking forward to celebrating in the weeks ahead. I love celebrating my birthday a lot a lot! (No, that's not a typo.) I do a number of fun things and...

Have you seen the Ewan McGregor “Stuff” commercial yet? The commercial shows McGregor walking through various scenes talking about how he doubts that any of us will look back on our lives and think about how we wish we would have got a sportier vehicle or thinner TV or trendier scent...

Can you think of a time when you blew things up in your mind to be way bigger than they ended up actually being? Like something being much more difficult or taking significantly longer than what played out? I imagine that we've all done that from time to time, right? After all, how can we predict...

I’m sure you’re thinking: Oh, come on!...

Have you ever felt like you had something important to express or talk about with someone close to you, perhaps in a romantic relationship, but were afraid that it would start an argument? Maybe it’s something that may impact or involve the other person, or something that upset you during a...

How many times have you thought to yourself things like:

When I…

• get that job
• finally find that special someone
• buy a new car
• get promoted
• have more money

…then I will…be less stressed

…then I will…be able to relax

…then I will…be happy

I couldn’t tell you how many friends and clients I’ve had the same conversation with for years now. In a nutshell, they share how busy they are running their kids here and there, taking on more and more work projects, constantly cleaning their house and doing house projects, helping...
