I Am Being Abused…

I have been living with a deep dark secret. I am in a horribly abusive relationship and I don’t know how to get out of it.
Watch and see for yourself.

Your Online Legacy
02/02/2010
I read an awesome book recently called “Crush It” by Gary Vaynerchuk (actually I listened to it on audio). There were so many great moments in this book. This guy’s passion is infectious. If you don’t know who he is, be sure to check out this clip of him on Conan.
One thing he said during the course of his book that stood out to me was about how our lives online are being documented forever. They are going to be a piece of our legacy. This is something that previous generations didn’t have. Our blogs, Twitter feeds, Facebook statuses, photos, videos — ALL OF IT is being stored and will part of the legacy we leave behind.
It’s crazy to think that not only will my kids be able to see how Kesha and I feel in love, but my great great great grandchildren will be able to see in detail all the random details of my life. Very cool — but kind of scary too.
So what kind of online legacy are you leaving? Is it something you’ll look back on and be proud of?
P.S. I set up a blog for my dad that he used a little bit. He didn’t post often, and he didn’t start it long before he died. But it’s something that I can read that brings me comfort and reminds me of how great my dad was. http://grandpasnook.blogspot.com/

The Girls Have Sites
01/25/2010
I figured it is never too early to reserve domain names for the girls. Their names are unique enough that the probably won’t get taken. But just in case, I thought I’d register them. For only $10/year it’s a worthwhile investment.
I figured there’s no sense in letting the domains just site there, so I set them each up with a Tumblr account. Kesha and I will try to keep the updated with pictures, video, and other cute things they say and do.

Living Comfortably Within Invisible Walls
01/25/2010
Every human on the face of the planet has a purpose. There is only one me. There is only one you. And there are things that you were created to do. You have a divine purpose. So are you living up to it?
I know it’s easy for me to get comfortable. I have many grandiose dreams and plans for my life that I hope to get to someday. But don’t we all? What happens when “Someday” turns into 25 years from now. I can see myself now sitting on the couch with a bag of Doritos and a bunch of unfulfilled dreams.
That’s not what I want for me; and it’s certainly not what God wants for me (or you).
Author, speaker, and creative-thinker Seth Godin released a free manifesto entitled “Brainwashed: Seven Ways to Reinvent Yourself“. It’s a great challenge to get past the invisible walls we have built for ourselves and start living the lives we were meant to live. I encourage you to read it and start thinking about how God might be calling you to change your life.

Amazing Mother-In-Law
01/13/2010
I love my mother-in-law. She is such a wonderful, loving, and kind woman. She decided on a whim to call me up and offer to come watch the girls so Kesha and I can go on a date. How awesome is that?
Thanks Kathy!
What movie should we see?

The Daily Burn
01/07/2010
I know it is very cliche to say that 2010 will be the year that I get healthy; but I must say that the new year has started off well in the health department. I found a website called The Daily Burn that helps to track food, body weight, and workouts. It is super easy to use, and best of all it is FREE!
I already have about 10 friends signed up. We are connected to each other as “Motivators”. You can choose to share your nutrition, workouts, journal entries, and leave little messages for each other. It’s kind of like a social network built around a fitness and nutrition tool.
I have tried many similar tools out there, but the Daily Burn is by far the best I have come across yet.
