“Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!” – Dr Seuss Milestones are a beautiful thing. Today marks two significant ones: my 37th birthday, and the 600th IQ I’ve published! Amazing, eh? To celebrate my birthday and this milestone, I’m offering a sale of 37% off […]
“Know what you stand for.” Once upon a time, a photographer ordered a rush canvas for a dear friend and clients’ second wedding anniversary (cotton). The canvas, being shipped early, arrived early, and with much excitement, the photographer took up a blade, and cleft the packaging in twain. And lo! It was not good. For, […]
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” – Mahatma Gandhi Today was such a mixed bag. Some successes. Some failures. Some moments of “No, seriously?! Oh come ON.” and some moments of “YEAH!” Highlights: Fixing my […]
“Wherever you go, there you are.” No attribution to this quote today, as it (according to google) was originally created by about 8,321 different people. It was sent to me by a reader, who reached out yesterday with an amazing email. I felt I had to share the quote with you straight away. It’s an interesting […]
“Life loves you.” It’s true. Really. It’s worth reminding yourself though, especially when you’re feeling a bit garbage. Bel and I have a daily affirmation (among others): “Life loves us, and provides for us well.” It really is a beautiful statement, and reminds us to be present to the abundance we enjoy every single day. […]

He’s been on a real adventure over the last two years since we first met – from graphic design freelancing, to becoming a Dad (twice), being the kids’ primary carer (Mr […]
“We are one, after all, you and I, together we suffer, together exist and forever will recreate each other.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin I’ve been looking at this quote for probably five solid minutes, trying to figure out how I can add something special to it. Fact is, I really don’t have much to add […]
“The thing about perfection is it’s unknowable. It’s impossible. But it’s always right in front of you.” – Kevin Flynn Watched TRON:Legacy tonight. (That explains the font, and the quote.) I’ve been thinking about perfection a lot, and this quote happened at the end of the film. What I wrote earlier tonight: ———————————————- I’m not perfect. […]
“If you are healthy, you are a multi-millionaire.” – Eddie Jaku Eddie Jaku spent a good deal of his youth running from the Nazis. His story is here. It is an amazing read, and one I urge you to all read as soon as you can. His perspective on life is remarkable – it could […]
“You learn something new every day, and if you don’t you’re not trying.” – Harold Leslie Smith Today’s quote comes from my dear, departed grandfather. My Dad’s Dad. My Poppy. It was one of those sayings that kept coming out of his mouth as I spent time with him. And even though he died over […]
