Live better everyday
Beyond our Earthly Bodies
The question of the afterlife (life after death) is a topic that has been considered by mankind for thousands, possibly millions of years. What happens to humans after we die? As a child I don’t think I placed a great deal of thought into the topic; most children likely don’t. It wasn’t until a high school friend of mine suddenly passed away that I actually began considering the question. Alvin was killed in a car accident one cold winter weekend. He lost control of his car and crossed into oncoming traffic. In a moment he was gone.
Your Single Best Investment
More often than not, when I ask people what they consider to be their single best investment, without hesitation their answer is “my house”. How about you? Is that how you would’ve answered the question, too? Well, what I’m about to share with you just might surprise you and challenge your thinking.
Pumpkin Pie Dessert Bars
October means Thanksgiving in Canada (November for our friends and family in the U.S.), and this year and our family will be gathering around the table to celebrate a year of many blessings. One of my favourite Thanksgiving recipes is for Pumpkin Pie Dessert Bars. A friend shared made these many years ago for a Thanksgiving staff luncheon. They were so delicious we were all asking for the recipe.
“Time” For A More Successful Life!
People often ask me “how do you do it all Tom!?” How do you oversee a large company? How do you find time to write books? How do you manage to have a successful online community? How do you fit in speaking and consulting engagements? And how in the world do you find it in your schedule to spend time with family and friends? Well…it’s not easy and at times I have struggled keeping everything successfully together. Truthfully it wasn’t until I made…
Helping Grandparents Help “You” Parent
Granny, Abuelo, Pop Pop- these are magic labels in our imagination when we think about our children and their relationship with their grandparents. But what if their presence creates more chaos than help? We want them to be a part of our children’s lives and sometimes we need them to help us with the care-giving. Watch this interview I hosted with mommy blogger LadydeeLG and get some answers around this topic.
Helping Our Children Live With Purpose And Passion
As a parent do you oftentimes struggle with how to support your children in becoming the best of who they are? Unfortunately, many of our schools (and our culture) try to fit our very unique children into one mold – the same mold – they feel will make them “successful.” As a Strengths Coach, this is quite frustrating, but because I understand my strengths, I know exactly why it bugs me so much! You see, one of my top strengths…
Mastering Time Management
Time is one of the most precious non-renewable resources we possess. As a result, there are thousands of books and articles out there that aim to help people manage their time more efficiently and get more done. We might all have the same 168 hours per week at our disposal, but even though we try to schedule each and every hour, we can find ourselves falling further and further behind if we continue to schedule based only on time and fail to include three other crucial points – energy, interest and routine.
What Annoys You The Most?
A few days ago I found myself waking up really annoyed. Nothing in particular but lots of little things combined just left me really annoyed. It’s been over a month now that I have been trying to get a form signed by my mother’s doctor and submitted to Medicare to get approval for a lift-chair. One piece of paper, signed by a doctor, sent to the medical supply company.
Homeless – Living In A Van
Homeless living in a van: that’s what I used to tell people when they would ask about our boys Justin and Adam. In case you aren’t aware, they are traveling the entire U.S. this year, with a goal of visiting every single state and for the most part they’re living in a van.
To their credit, they…
This Is Why You Can’t Avoid The Sex Talk (Video)
You are avoiding “the sex talk” but avoiding it won’t help your children.
Here I chat with board certified sex therapist, Gabriela Galvan de Antillon of Blue Pearl Therapeutic to know why it’s important.
