There’s So Much Wild Goodness In The World

In 2009-2010, I spent 12 months touring North America with a conscious music band – 6 men (and one guitarist’s wife for a few of those months) – in an SUV vehicle which I’m certain shrank over time. During that entire year, we spent less than 10 nights in hotel rooms. The other 355 days

Yes, The World Actually DOES Need Your Voice

It’s easy to get discouraged about inspirational writing and coaching when I think the stage is already too crowded. There’s so many people already doing what I aspire to do … and some are doing it reeeeeally well. When I attended Tony Robbins’ Unleash The Power Within Seminar in Los Angeles 2 months ago, I

Spiritual Military

In honor of Memorial Day, I want to remind you that I was once a Captain in the US Air Force … and now I work in transformational entertainment and write inspirational blogs like “Tell The Truth, Let The Peace Fall Where It May” and “A Happy You is Good for the Planet!” Tonight at

Leaping off cliffs is a way of life

You figure it just takes one huuuuuge leap of faith to hurl yourself off the metaphorical cliff before you’re off and … well, dropping through the sky like a sweaty meat bomb until you magically grow wings and reclaim your wits about you and then it’s smooth sailing forevermore. But no, that’s not how it

The Arrogance of the “Enlightened Fool”

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve acted in ridiculous, immature, even aggressive fashion when making a stand for positive, high-minded ideals. It’s just soooo tempting to scorch another’s ignorant absurdities with a blast of my own passionate fire (I blame it partly on the hot Spanish 25% of my blood). But we all

Stop trying to convince anyone of anything

The most significant intimate relationship in my life so far has also been the craziest. By “crazy” I simply mean that we were both surely insane together.   We took each other into the darkest, most absurd realms of insecure, aggressive and offensive conversation that neither of us could have imagined we’d ever encounter in

We are truly entering the Golden Age of Authenticity!

Even as a straight man, I literally get ecstatic chills in my body when something majorly public happens that advances the cause for not just legal equality for gay people, but for the simple acknowledgment that … … gay people have every right to live an extraordinary life in their own authentic brilliance with all the

Healing Sometimes Means Learning to Live in Peace with The Pain

♦◊♦ I’m pretty sure that sometimes “healing” just means learning to live in peace with the pain. I’ve been to countless workshops. I’ve questioned my stressful thoughts for days on end and accumulated countless hours of stranger eye-gazing to weepy Whitney Houston songs; I’ve sat still and starving on desolate mountainsides, determinedly reframed disappointments and

In 100 years … all new people

I’ve thought about this idea a lot. In about 100 years (maybe now it’s 125 or 150 as technology goes), the planet will essentially be completely rid of everyone that’s alive today and crawling with a completely new set of people. The whole myriad of people who play the characters in all the stories of

There’s soooo much that’s right with the world.

Today an unfortunate tragedy happened in Boston, the product of insane thinking. Every day similar tragedies happen all over the world, heart-breaking events that occur because someone believed a crazy, despairing thought and acted on it, thus sucking so many into terrible suffering. I was in the gym when I saw footage of the explosions.
