The Start of Something Big
This is a book Ana and I have been dreaming of writing for 17 years. It is our love letter to the world.
Bio
What I Do
I have a passion for great writing. Excellence is one of my most cherished core values.
The exquisite beauty of a powerful idea expressed in words, whether through a single sentence or a 700-page novel, is something that has stirred my soul since as long as I can remember.
So . . . What I do: I search out transformational ideas and stories and bring them to life in words.

A Walk to Remember
3-4-14 | Did you know you have a seahorse in your head? You do. It’s a delicate little thing, and it’s important to feed it, because it helps you remember who you are and what you’re doing here.
Walking Grateful
3-1-14 | After I write this post, I’m going to join my wife in a three-mile walk around the neighborhood. This is not as simple an accomplishment as it sounds.
The Art of Savoring
2-20-14 | One of the great “hidden” truths of happiness is this: when it comes to creating more happiness in our lives, the biggest difference is made by the smallest, simplest things.
Savoring
2-17-14 | Much of what I’ve learned about the ability to savor life’s delicious moments, whenever and wherever they occur, came from my mother. This includes the capacity to savor food, music, irony, humor, the absurd, the profound … and the conscious spending of money even when you have hardly any to spare.
