Who’s first?

Stitch toy in front of University of Oregon sign — A family favorite.

i write first for the man in my mirror, then our son, then family, then everyone else.

If you feel uncomfortable, confused, inspired, or optimistic, know i felt it first.

If anything feels like it’s full of, or devoid of, empathy, it is only meant to be full of.

Any lack of empathy felt is on the reader.

Reframed Midlife Crisis as Mid Life Celebration and published a book about it.

Went to the opposite end of the spectrum of going the extra mile and discovered going the extra inch, and did a TED talk in Kuwait about it.

Destroyed the universally accepted belief that balance is a myth by searching where no one looked. Discovered the missing metric that replaces time.

Have written 22,000 (and counting) blog posts and host a podcast about balance. In the podcast, you hear why time is a flawed metric. You also hear the brilliantly simply discovery, and replacement metric, I use.

Note: The official world record for most blog posts by a single author is 17,212. Guinness Book of World Records denied my application because there have a 200-word minimum word count requirement.

You are the message
