Oh yeah! This is a memory from that first time I received over 300+ orders for my free sticker, in one day! Since I sign every order and package them myself, I remember when this happened. It was exciting, and a lot of work. But mostly exciting. Becaus

I think half of the battle in life is believing in ourselves. In fact, just the other day a friend told me that she couldn't do something because she didn't understand it. Yet, she hadn't even started to learn how to do the thing. She was ready to give up

At some point in our lives, we can feel lost and without much purpose. Some of us just don't know how to make the thing we want happen, happen. Some of us don't even know what we love to do. And some of us get in our own ways by doubting ourselves, avoidi

I found this book in the window of a local bookstore. The title struck me, . I've lived that title all of my life. I've have felt other in most things: my personality, my interest in guys (vs. girls), the music I like, my lack of interest in sports, my

So many of us hide who we are, because the world is full of judgement and it can feel scary to freely live out loud. I remember as a young fella, avoiding the ones that stood out. I literally thought, I didn't want to be called out like they are. The tru

It's Independence day in the USA. I know it's all BBQs, beer, and fireworks. While I love me some BBQ and good beer, I'm over here thankful for this country I call home. I won't get into the crap storm that is our politics, as much as I disagree with the

Yes, your story matters. But first you need a story. Maybe that's where you're stuck. Or maybe you have one and think it's done. A story is not one thing. Instead... There's a not so secret to enjoying life. It's to live it fully. It's when you explore t

You know that cliché phrase, how can you expect anyone to love you if you don't love yourself? The same rule applies to being different. We have to actually dig what makes us weird and special, before we expect others to respect and honor it. Of course,

My future is so bright... You know the rest. This picture with its flood of brightness had me thinking those lines (and song). But it's not always like that. Sometimes life is dark and damn hard. I just had a long chat with a bestie about that subject. W

It's easy to get caught up in all of the BS online. None of it will make us happy, nor will it make the world a place where we all belong. Instead... ? There's a lot of ideas of how to be good. I think respect is part of it. So is love. So is be

I honestly believe this. In fact, I think it's true for everyone. If you don't and you think you're normal, I'm telling you to dig a little deeper. 'Cause normal as it's used today doesn't truly exist. It's a construct made up by people that donβt like di

The more you celebrate the things that make you, you, and truly focus on being and living you who you want to be, the more you won't care what others are doing or that you're not doing it with them. Good bye to the fear of missing out, of things that don'

Part of the magic that makes me, me, is my love of nature. It's where I discover my best ideas, find the most peace in life, and it helps me stay healthy. And it's always been that way, even when I lived in LA for 15+ years. β β β β β β β β β Embracing this love
