When I was an exchange student in Mexico I really learned how disorganized payphones can be in other countries. If you don’t have a phone card in Mexico (well, back in 1996 anyway) your call can be as much as $5 local and that’s just for 5 minutes. The entire payphone market has [...]

This post was inpsired by a children’s book I read my kids a lot.

Is That So, Eckhart Tolle?

My mom and I have been talking a lot lately about the book A New Earth. If you haven’t heard of it yet, you soon will. Oprah has fully endorsed its author, Eckhart Tolle, and we all know that what Oprah endorses, sells like crazy. But Tolle is a very humble guy. [...]

I got that title from an old Alarm song. It’s a great tune with an even greater message for the visionaries among us in 2008.
Instead of waiting for others to be our inspiration, we have to be the inspiration to others AND to ourselves.
As you may have gathered from this series’ title, I grew [...]
