I’m always a bit nervous when I hit “Publish” on a blog. I never know how these words are going to be received by you. Like most creators, I want more than anything that you embrace my every creation like some precious discovered treasure glinting resplendent in your eyes that you can’t help but stare
Yesterday, I launched my new website and started giving away free an intensely revealing Chapter 1 of my coming book, Tell The Truth, Let The Peace Fall Where It May. Yes, I’m nervous about it, a bit scared even. What will you think of me when you read it? What I hope is that it
Most doctors, yes MOST DOCTORS, would OUTRIGHT REFUSE life-saving interventions (CPR, life support, feeding tubes, etc.) because they know how brutal and futile end-of-life care can be, and what little chance of meaningful success it typically offers. There’s a fascinating NPR RadioLab podcast about that @ http://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab-blog/2013/jan/15/bitter-end/ The rest of this essential blog about the
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
