Try This At Home
We lucked out on Small Business Saturday.
Since we never close charge/credit cards we no longer use – because it can hurt your credit (how screwed up is that?) – we had a few retired American Express cards that we could fire up for the event. Read more 
Paradise with Purpose
It’s that time of year again – the season of gratitude, the time for giving and receiving. That can only mean one thing… Passports with Purpose (PwP) has arrived! Read more
Sweating It
As I write this, we’re sitting in the shade just off the beach near Puerto Jimenez, Costa Rica. This jungle setting is a must-do for any visitor to Costa Rica. It’s harsh, but it’s fantastic. It’s been an illuminating experience for us.
We’re sweating it for more reasons than you might think…
Restore and Create
Although we’re in Costa Rica, this isn’t a post about Costa Rica. It’s about what we’re up to every year in October / November, and it just so happens that – this year – Costa Rica is the perfect place to do it.
It’s about dreamscaping the year ahead.
Happiness is Being Heard

It Gets Better
It’s National Coming Out Day.

Freedom to Redefine
The other night we got into a big conversation with some locals in Beijing, China. It’s stuck with us.
Our new friends were expressing their frustration over government mandated web censorship. Most irritating to them? The fact that they can’t (legally) visit sites like Facebook and Twitter. Weird to think that happens, isn’t it? Read more
Stop Thinking
We realize that a big part of wellness is getting the hell out of our thinking minds. The problem is, we’re not great at it. Read more
Sending a Message
There are 7 billion of us on the planet, and 1 billion of us go to bed hungry every night. The two of us are lucky. We eat well. The least we can do is be a voice for the ghosts of society who aren’t as lucky.
We Want Marriage Equality – We Need Your Help
Several years ago, I started a management position with a huge, global corporation in the financial arena. Before I even had a chance to fully settle into the new job, it was time for a team building event. Oh, yay. Read more
Life’s Greatest Challenge
The other day, while driving to a hike in Glacier National Park, we got completely sucked into a random interview we landed on when browsing through the different radio stations. Read more
