Truth is Still Truth
I had the unique opportunity to go to Radicalis 2011. It was a great conference. I got to meet a lot of great people, and learned sooooo much. Of all the things though that I learned, I have been thinking and contemplating something that Rick Warren had said in one…

The Life of a Fictional Character
…..can sometimes become so real that you can actually experience that character as if they weren’t fictional. You can talk about them with your friends as if they were real. You actually know them like you know your neighbor. Now before you think that I’m out of my mind (and…

The Humble Brag
You’ve heard it before. It’s that bragging statement that we make about how good we aren’t at something. When you complain about something positive. When you complain that your size 2 jeans are baggy (I got it off NCIS: Los Angeles). It’s mostly subconscious. It’s mostly automatic. It says alot…

Your Inner Alva
I said this to a friend a few weeks ago. I don’t even remember the situation, but I knew that she was a big fan of Tony Alva. I don’t even remember exactly what she was going through, but I remember telling her to access her inner Alva. You see…

Friends that I’ve Never Met
I have many friends – good ones. I have some friends that I have really come to know and respect. I have talked with then. I have exchanged emails and messages with them. I have joked with them, and I have tons of information about them. I really share a…

Those that Care – Know
We all have people that care about us. It’s great when people care about us, but it’s great to know that those that care about you know first. You can pretty much know how much someone cares about you and keeps up with you with how much and how soon…

A Text Relationship
Yesterday, everything that I watched, read, or listened to had to do with relationships (Valentines Day). I saved this post for today – but it comes from some of the Valentines Day chatter from yesterday. I listened to an interview yesterday, and they gave the 10 ten tips for relationships.…

The Push of Normal
I’m still thinking through this idea. The main question is what is normal? It’s different for everyone, but the follow up question for me is – which direction do we push towards? It seems to me that you either push toward normal or away from normal (whatever “normal” is). Most…
