If you’re going to drop the big news this year… you might as well be clever about it! There is no right, wrong, good, bad, or perfect way to come out … only YOUR way. I belong to a speaker’s bureau for PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). We go to universities,…

I never knew what it meant to take care of myself first. It was selfish. I know many of you have been taught the same interesting lie. But it’s not true, unless you make it a selfish act. Ironically, taking care of yourself first is a bold move of living life on your terms so…

Hey guys I’m calling you out on your shit. Don’t take it personal. I’m calling myself out too! Seems that we’re only curious when it comes to sex, food, money, and careers. Ok, I know, we get curious about where the nearest pot is to poop when we need to take a dump, but that’s…

I just returned from an 11-day Caribbean cruise. I know. I hear you saying. STFU. Hey, don’t hate on me. Everyone deserves a getaway. Even you. So back to that hating on me bit, I was hating on myself prior to going on this vacation. I’ve put on about 25 pounds this past year. Not…

I’ve always been a seeker. Curious. Inquisitive. I’ve also been a pain in the ass. To myself and others. Always, always, always seeking permission to do stuff. It’s a bad habit I got into – seeing permission as a form of validation to move my life forward, to be accepted by people, and to feel…

Ivy League or Community College. It really doesn’t matter where you start your higher education journey. And, as contrary to popular belief as it sounds, it doesn’t even matter if you start a higher education journey. I know, how blasphemous, and who am I to say such a thing. I’m just a guy with a…

Everyone thinks that heart attacks, prostate cancer, high cholesterol, and through the roof blood pressure is killing men. I agree and disagree. I actually believe that the pursuit of perfection is what is killing men. All men, not just some men. Love your thoughts on this article. Perfection: The #1 Killer of Men Photo by Jonathan…

It’s Thanksgiving. At least here in the U.S. Everywhere else it’s a normal, as if there is a normal, Thursday. Regardless, this post is simple. You can either give thanks, or you can give yourself lip service. I choose to give thanks. Thanks for stuff that we often forget to give thanks for. Today I…

It’s vacation time. As I write this, I’m in a Southwest capsule jetting at 35,000 feet and 500 miles an hour to Austin, for a brief stop, then onto Ft. Lauderdale. Funny how I’m stopping off in one of the most conservative states in the country (Texas) to land in Ft. Lauderdale, one of the…
