I hope you had a great holiday weekend--hopefully, you were able to spend it with family and friends. It might come as a surprise, but I prefer to chill and relax at home, and that's precisely what I did this weekend. We spent the weekend in the pool, lying around it, and I even got my workouts in on the patio before hopping back into the pool. The only downside to the relaxing weekend was that Leo was in Bloomington, Indiana, for IU soccer camp, and Roman was at his girlfriend's house for most of the 4th. Ideally, the whole family would have been together, but it was a fun weekend, and I'm thankful for the amount of rest I was able to get. It was much needed, and let it serve as a reminder to make sure you find time to rest and relax as well. A ThrowbackI've been thinking about my creative collective and passion project, PRST, and revisited some of the Shorts I made a couple of years ago. This particular one was probably the most complex, as I shot it over the course of several weeks. My friend Odaro is not only a talented financial advisor, but he's also a talented DJ. I got the idea to document his passion for music when he was the DJ at a conference we were at. He was commanding the crowd with Vegas in the background, and I thought it would be cool to contrast that with him practicing in his apartment back in St. Louis. I'm looking forward to finding more time to start doing these videos again.

Well, he just popped up on my radar thanks to The Leading Edge community I'm a part of. This is a video of a coaching call he had with a client who was trying to overcome a money story of his; I was initially interested in hearing what Joe had to say about money and the script that was troubling his client, but I quickly became enthralled by Joe's "coaching." I highly recommend watching! 📝 The OmensThis week's Omens: No new Omens this week--my creative output went to the Look Book. Instead of starting a Pinterest account to document fashion, design, and architecture, I created a Look Book on my website. This serves a few purposes for me:

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” - Jiddu Krishnamurti I don’t like to think of society as sick, but if I step back and look at many things today, perhaps there is a little sickness there. The amount of time spent on mobile devices. The obsession with social media. The physical health of the average American. The tribalness of the political landscape. The rise of mental health struggles, including a significant increase among the youth. The...
Often, it is through struggle that we learn and grow — or, rather, we have the opportunity to learn and grow through struggle. I’m not certain we all take advantage of this opportunity when it is presented to us. I don’t believe struggle is the only way to learn and grow, despite it being a great teacher. Before I go further, what exactly is “struggle?” One person’s struggle may be nothing to another, and one person’s nothing might be another’s struggle; it’s relative and subjective and not...
I keep thinking about the present moment. Not just to be more present, because I once read that when you think about being in the present moment, you put your Self in the present, but to fully understand how we have everything we need in the present moment—another idea I’ve read. It really is true if you can think about this exact present moment. There isn’t anything that you need that you don’t have. The worry and stress about what we don’t have stem from thinking about a future moment or...
