A couple of weeks ago, a rarity occurred in Major League Baseball. You may have missed it because it involved my lowly Kansas City Royals. The Royals traded Wilson Betemit to the Detroit Tigers for a couple of minor league players – not unusual. KC traded Betemit to Detroit to play 3rd base. To make […]
More on your Story
In June, Kia and I visited Portland as both a vacation and the opportunity to attend the Storyline Conference. I’ve posted a lot about my thoughts on both the trip and the conference. Here are some of my favorites: The Power of Story What do you want? 4 Obstacles to living your story. Living intentionally […]
Best. Day. Ever.
My wedding day. 16 years ago today, I had the best day ever. I deeply connected with one of the most amazing people in the world. I can’t imagine life without living that day. It changed my world for the better. On August 12, 1995, I married Kia Gabrielle Antisdel. I have so many great memories of […]
We all have ’em. Are you showing yours off?
As small business owners, husbands, wives, parents, sons, daughters, best friends, organization members and more we all have our share of difficult problems, set-backs and struggles. Let’s call them dents. Many times these dents we cause ourselves (stupid mistakes, anyone?) and other times they happen to us – powerless to do anything about it. The […]
Are you finding open space?
New Territory Yesterday, I wrote about how each of us resemble an ATM. We can’t give anymore than what we have in us. This means we need to constantly work to refresh our creative batteries. Last Sunday marked the first time since creating The Collective that a day passed without something being posted. I actually realized […]
Living life as an ATM. What’s your balance?
I’m an ATM. An ATM is only able to give out what it has in its reserves. When it runs out of cash, it can’t distribute any more. We are ATM’s. A simple concept which is so difficult to live. I am constantly receiving and distributing emotional and spiritual currency. I am a walking, talking, […]

Are Times Tough? pt 2
Kia and I are currently on vacation with our family. I have prepared a few new posts, and I’m mixing in a few old posts to highlight. This is part 2 of a post from the old spa Blog in February 2011. I seem to have a theme of “hope” going now. This fits in […]
Can you say it in 6 words?
Twitter has changed the world In June, Kia and I attended the Storyline conference hosted by Donald Miller. Don did most of the talking, but did invite a couple of people to be interviewed during the day. One of these people was Ian Cron. Ian wrote an interesting book (everyone at the conference received a […]
The magic bond between Mothers and Sons
I found this video on Scott Bourne’s new site CarLoves.com. It’s kind of long, but totally worth watching the whole clip. This guy takes his mother on a ride around a rally track, and she’s pretty expressive about how she feels during the trip. Other than the pure enjoyment of watching his mother squirm (and […]
