Your feelings cheat sheet

2024-08-0706:03

Send us a textHello Friend,You’re probably not as much of a “hot head” as I am. I have times when my rage-o-meter goes from zero to one-hundred so fast that I don’t know what happened. Not only do I scare myself in those moments, but I also upset others. I want to do better, but I haven’t known how to change. Recently, though, I’ve been discovering some tools that are helping. So, if you ever feel like your feelings can yank the steering wheel out of your hands and swerve you around...

Halftime

2024-07-1003:47

Send us a textHi Friend,Sometimes I look in the mirror and focus on the deepening wrinkles across my face. Other times I notice that I move slower on the tennis court than I used to. I imagine the future and what it will feel like to ride the rest of this curve. If you’re like me, you may occasionally feel “blue” when you consider how little time you have here. Even if we are very fortunate, it won’t be long until we’re looking back on our nearly-completed lives and taking stock.&...

Your life’s masterpiece emerges as you chip away everything that is not the essence of you. You may have a bucket lis...

It’s Never Too Late

2024-05-1502:08

Send us a textHello Friend,I once visited my doctor, Lee Rice, who is as much a mentor as my physician. I told him I felt like pieces of my life were falling apart. I was going through a romantic break up, I had eaten more pounds of french fries than produce in the preceding six months, and I felt lost career wise. One of Dr. Rice’s best qualities is the way he listens; and his empathy alone is therapeutic. He let me explain my pessimistic outlook and then shared an encouraging observati...

Burn it down

2024-05-0103:02

Send us a textHello Friend,In 2019 I visited Yellowstone National Park with my parents and sister. We hired a tour guide who had encyclopedic knowledge about its geysers, mudpots, bears, bison, and other marvels. At a scenic overlook where we hopped out of the car for a photo op, he nonchalantly said something surprising. Forest fires are good for nature.Pointing out the pinecones on a nearby tree, he told us they were “serotinous cones.” That type of cone can hang on a Pine for yea...

Send us a textStanding outside the East Gate of San Quentin Prison at 9:22 a.m. on November 16, I was shivering and impatient for my tour to start.
