Life is just too short. These words have been keeping me up at night, making me do things I’ve never done. Yes, we hear that phrase a lot, but does it sink in? I mean really sink in. Stop right now. You won’t die if your email, phone, twitter, editing or 10 windows you have up go untouched for a moment. Come on! (more…)
I know why I danced the night away with Randy and Todd at the closing night Engage!10 gala: it was the only thing that came close to expressing my pure joy after what we had experienced that week. We danced and laughed and genuinely celebrated life, relationships, the past, failures, hurdles overcome, and (more…)
Sitting in a hospital bed two weeks ago, I was convinced I wasn’t going to Engage. I shifted my weight a little in church, feeling a small pain in my stomach. I thought to myself, Maybe it’s the Indian food from last night. Maybe it’s the bread and grape juice from communion. It’ll go away. (more…)
Much to come on my Hawaiian adventures, epic airport drama, and new thoughts on branding after doing several inspiring consults in Hawaii, but I had to write quickly about a big personal milestone that happened this weekend. My not-so-little-anymore (more…)
I’m writing this on a plane. What’s new? And yes, I did say I was leaving the laptop at home. You caught me. I won’t use it much, though. I promise. I’ll be too distracted by the beach and a very special traveler who, due to his rad schedule, never gets to go anywhere with me: (more…)
I got a surprise package in the mail today from Harmony Walton, owner of Bridal Bar, who is is one of the most genuine, giving people in the wedding business. I can always count on her to lift me up and tell it like it is. Inside was this book. When I get a new book or a magazine, I immediately (more…)
My good friend Nick Onken continuously blows me away with his drive and brilliant ability to take a concept to reality. This guy really makes things happen. (read his great post on it here) His images are remarkable, his work ethic is like no one I’ve ever known, and his innate sense of branding is spot on. He just launched a brand new site and blog that has (more…)
WPPI, the largest wedding and portrait photography convention, is coming up in about 3 short weeks. Going to WPPI last year changed my life. I met the people who are now my best friends, including Jeff and Jory, plus so many others. The dinner above was (more…)
We just got back from Nashville today. Huge thanks to Jeremy Cowart and the MTH2010 Nashvegas crew for knocking our socks off! What a great week this has been. We started in Hotlanta at Get Married Studios with the beautiful, warm and brilliant Stacie Francombe. Atlanta was (more…)
If you took an hour per week to get clear about your direction, make an active plan for the future, and voice your fears, what would that do to your life? Imagine doing that for over 80 hours in 10 days. Friends, I essentially went through group therapy for 10 solid days on the first leg of the (more…)
