Stress, drama, and teen challenges seem to be the new normal.

Maybe for those who didn’t think they had any “daily creativity” in them. Or for those who think the best is behind them.

He created daily. Whether art or drawing or sculpture or architecture.

He was happy, funny, joyous, and full of admiration, curiosity, and grace.

Here’s the audio from the video and here’s access to the (free preview) from the video from the course.

I hope he brings a little bit of Repossible-style inspiration your way.

I have 2 secrets. I’ll tell you one of them.

I have a speech on Saturday. I’ve been working on it all week.

The more I work on it, the better it gets. Funny how that happens.

Here’s two stories of Unexpected Magic–and how you can turn a bad situation into a potentially good one.

Is there always a silver lining?

How meditation can increase your productivity, add jet fuel to your creativity, and save you hours per day.

The plan for 2019: books, audio, video, talks, speeches, all media, one topic, Better Together, and it starts now.

How much do dogs stress? What can we learn from it?

I’m ASKing for your feedback, insight, experience, desire, or opinion. Got one? Let’s talk.
