Thank you… For canceling festivals but not music. Meetings but not communication. Flights but not memories. Dates but not love. Church but not hope. Human interaction but not kindness. Sporting events but not a catch with Dad. Thank you for evening the playing field… For pulling back the curtain and letting in the light. For […]
And no – it’s not because you’re quarantined and can’t buy toilet paper. That’s a tragedy all on its own. Over the past few days, I’ve run a survey asking “Are You Happy.” The results have been pouring in and I’m beyond grateful for those of you who reached out or completed the survey… I […]
In an ideal world, you’d wake up Sunday morning and do absolutely nothing and love every second of it. I mean, even God himself rested on Sunday, why shouldn’t you? At most, maybe you’d take your dog on a hike and hope to god no one tries to talk to you about the weather. Then, […]
It’s the new year and let’s pretend for a moment this is the year you’ll crush your dreams and finally buy your mom that trip to Tahiti you’ve been promising her… Or, maybe, clear your student loan debt so you can stop eating frozen waffles for dinner. Or buy a house so you can stop […]
Yes, I saw the new Joker movie, and yes I absolutely loved it. There, I said it. It was one of the most powerful and profound films about mental illness I have ever seen.

Our brains suck. I know. Not the awe-inspiring intro you were hoping for. Don’t worry – we’ll get to that. There’s a spiraling black hole in your brain that, if you let it, can drive you absolutely mad. Tell me if this sounds familiar… You wake up in the morning feeling overwhelmed by all the […]
You’re bored. You’re bored and you know it – you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t. Yes – that was definitely a line from The Notebook used strategically to get your attention… don’t judge me. Before we answer that simple, “what do you want” question – I have a story to share with you all. It goes something like […]
A few years ago, I celebrated my birthday on a yacht in San Diego. And yes, for those of you wondering, that was my failed attempt at a “flex” (I think that’s what the kids call it). I remember how cool I felt decked out in boat shoes, white shorts and a deep V (more […]
Yes. That was a cheesy spin-off to a campaign slogan from a guy who I still believe wears a toupee… And, since you’re all wondering now… do I support the Donald? Let’s not toupee our way into politics… but, for the record, ABSOLUTELY not. I’m writing this article because I believe inner peace is the […]
Yes, the time has come. I am officially 365 days sober. If I’m being honest, I thought sobriety would be a fresh, clear-eyed beginning to a life full of never-ending joy and success. But, sometimes it feels more like a never-ending marathon, and I hate to run. There’s a reason you don’t see endless lines, […]
