You know, I really thought I’d be getting better at having a more regular blogging schedule. But let me reassure you with this thought: If I had blogged over the last week or so, it probably would have sounded a bit more like a rant than something that could actually help you. So in the [...]
I work with a lot of people from all different walks of life. I see people who are successful, some who are not, and some who are just making ends meet. One thing that I find in common no matter where my clients come from is this: Many men suck at Valentine’s Day. Don’t get [...]

January 10, 2010 1So I’m sitting with my wife watching a church service from our home, because we had planned on going to church that morning, but she really wasn’t feeling good, so we stayed in (she’s pregnant, she’s allowed).

October 18, 2009 3As Bob Dylan used to say, “and the times they are a changin’!” The climate is changing (no matter what your perspective is on who’s fault it is), the economy is changing (or is stagnantly bad, depending on your perspective), and in many respects, we seem to need to constantly be in tune with how [...]
