Managing Anger and other Negative Emotions
Over the weekend, I found myself very angry.

…Can You Meditate in a Crowd?
Recently, our family spent a week in one of the most magical places on Earth: Walt Disney World. It was amazing and our vacation was packed full of excitement, laughter and joy. It was also packed full of crowds and waiting for attractions. When we go to Disney, our family typically enjoys very full days, up to 12-14 hours in the park each day.

I went through bouts of depression and considered taking my own life.

…Managing the Household
Running the Household versus Managing the Household
Everyone loves a clean house, right? Keri and I have four kids. So with six of us in a house, going six different ways, tidiness can get out of hand in a matter of a few hours. Sometimes I feel like the maid, “I just cleaned up this place, can you keep it clean for 10 minutes…” Can you relate? Is there a solution that can actually help? Well, as it turns out, there is: managing the household.
Well, what exactly does that mean?…
