Love is the bridge between you and everything. —RumiIn a world that often feels fractured and cold, one force remains eternally powerful yet increasingly overlooked – love. Not just romantic love, but the profound, transformative love that connects humans at their deepest level, heals wounds, bridges divides, and lights the darkest corners of our existence. As we navigate through unprecedented global challenges, could love be the answer we’ve been seeking all along? Love, in its purest form, has always been humanity’s greatest strength. It’s what moves parents to sacrifice everyth…

While waiting for a train at a station in Atlanta, Georgia, a young man wearing dress pants and a button-down shirt sat on a bench. As he struggled with his tie, an older woman encouraged her husband to help. When the elderly man hunched over and began teaching the young man how to knot the tie, a stranger took a photo of the trio. When this photo went viral online, many viewers left comments about the power of random acts of kindness.In a world filled with darkness, let us be the light.Imagine a news cycle where headlines are filled not with tragedy, but with triumph.

The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it. ―J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan Remember when dandelions were magical wish-makers, not weeds? When cardboard boxes transformed into spaceships and blanket forts held infinite possibilities? Somewhere between mortgage payments and Monday meetings, we misplaced our ability to see wonder in the ordinary. My wife Ali and I rediscovered our wonder on the Camino de Santiago (see more about our transformational pilgrimage below) not long ago, as we spent countless hours walking amongst glorious nature, paying close attention t…

The measure of our humanity is not found in the heights we achieve alone, but in how many hands we extend to others along the way. —Leonard PeltierLet us traverse the winding trail toward humanity together. Though we’ve faltered and strayed at times, our spirit remains unbroken. Standing atop each conquered mountain, we see an endless range of challenges stretching to the horizon. In this precious moment, we catch our breath and gaze upon the breathtaking panorama of our achievements, marveling at the distance traversed. Yet we dare not linger here – our newfound understanding of huma…

There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people . . . religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin! —Linus Van Pelt  In the whimsical world of Peanuts, Linus Van Pelt’s unwavering belief in the Great Pumpkin, a mythical figure who delivers pumpkins to good children on Halloween night, often led to ridicule. Yet, his simple faith in the extraordinary serves as a poignant metaphor for our own divided world. While the Great Pumpkin may be a fictional character, the other two topics Linus avoids – religion and politics – are very real and often contentious. These subjec…

Together, we can build a future where “None of Us Are Home Until All of Us Are Home.”Calling All Media Partners: Help Us Spark Compassionate Change Are you someone or do you know someone who knows someone in the Media (radio, TV, Print, Podcast, etc.) business who can help us shine the light on the unsheltered (homelessness) around the world? For many, encountering someone experiencing homelessness evokes a barrage of questions and assumptions. Are they lazy? Dangerous? Do they choose this life? These stereotypes paint an incomplete and often inaccurate picture. UNSHELTERED: None of Us A…

The only way to make sense of the world is to plunge into the street and build or destroy. —James BaldwinIn our increasingly polarized world, the need for genuine human connection has never been more urgent. While Technology has connected us globally, it has simultaneously isolated us in digital echo chambers. To bridge these divides, we must cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. Here are some essential skills to foster connection in these fractured times. It’s time for us all to stop hitting the snooze buttons on our lives and what really matters by stepping up to f…

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. – Eleanor RooseveltHave you ever felt the electric anticipation of standing on the precipice of greatness? That tingling sensation when you know, deep in your bones, that everything you’ve worked for is about to crystallize into one perfect, shining instant? Life is a tapestry of moments, but some burn brighter than others. These are the moments that define us, that separate who we are from who we could be. They’re the crossroads where potential meets opportunity, where dreams collide with reality, and where our tr…

The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them. — Thomas Crum We all carry them — those uncomfortable moments frozen in time, waiting to be resolved. Perhaps it’s the promotion discussion with your boss that ended awkwardly, the inheritance dispute that’s created a chasm between siblings, or the misunderstanding with a business colleague or oldest friend that neither of you has addressed for years. These unresolved conflicts aren’t just memories; they’re active forces shaping our present choices, influencing our relationship…

Hope is the anchor of the soul, firm and steadfast even in the roughest seas. – UnknownImagine yourself adrift in the vast expanse of the English Channel, the once tranquil waters now churning with tempestuous waves. The sky, once a serene blue, is now a menacing gray, casting ominous shadows upon the sea. Fear gnaws at you as the storm rages on, threatening to swallow your small vessel whole. You’re lost, alone, and at the mercy of the elements. This was the terrifying reality faced by a group of friends who had ventured out on a boating trip, heedless of the forecasted stormy weather. …

 Humanity’s greatest strength lies not in our individual abilities, but in our collective compassion and shared purpose. In a world where you can be anything, be the spark that ignites positive change.Being human is a gift, but maintaining our humanity is a deliberate choice. It’s not about personal gain or glory; it’s about the collective good. By serving others, we not only enrich their lives but also discover our own true purpose. As we navigate the tumultuous currents of the present, let us pause to reflect on our shared destiny. This moment, a crossroads in human history offers a…

As Hurricane Milton approaches, poised to become the first major storm to directly impact our beloved Tampa Bay area in over a century (1921), the gravity of this situation cannot be overstated – this is indeed a serious threat to our community. Our thanks to all of you for reaching out with heartfelt words of support – it matters. While we are blessed to find ourselves currently out of the country and thus physically removed from the immediate danger, our thoughts, prayers, and deepest concerns remain firmly with our extended Tampa Bay family. We’re especially mindful of those we’ve h…

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. – Helen KellerOur friend Michelle’s five-year-old daughter, Maija, has an interesting approach to playtime. She loves mixing together dolls from different playsets to come up with a new community. In the world of her imagination, everything belongs together. These are her people. She believes they are happiest when they’re together, despite being different sizes and shapes. Throughout history, two forces have driven human progress: our capacity for Innovation and our ability to collaborate. These powers, fueled by the indomitable h…
