The Soul Box

March 30, 2026

When I travel, everything changes: new city, new room, new rhythm. I find it’s easy to lose my center in the midst of all that movement. Over time, I’ve learned I need something simple and consistent to stay grounded, so I created a small ritual I use every time I arrive in a hotel room. […]

Soul Weather

March 16, 2026

When I was a kid, my dad took me camping in all kinds of weather. Not just the sunny days, but the cold ones, the gray ones, the ones when rain poured on our tent and thunder rolled across the sky. Some of my best camping trips in the Adirondacks involved huge claps of thunder […]

March 9, 2026

Strength Without Frenzy

March 2, 2026

Elite Energy

February 23, 2026

A few years ago I started writing reviews on Yelp. Restaurants. Local spots. Experiences that mattered. Not because I had to. Because it was fun. Just recently, I was invited into Yelp Elite.

Bryan Stevenson and the Courage to Remember

February 9, 2026

Called and Capable

February 2, 2026

I was flying across the country when Mount Rainier came into view. Rising above everything around it, unmistakable. You don’t have to know its name to recognize […]

The Cardinal Outside

January 26, 2026

Here on the East Coast of the USA, we are in the middle of a serious snow and ice storm, the kind that slows everything down and […]

The Music That Lights Up My Life

January 12, 2026

This week, I want to shine a light on my wife, Laura, an award-winning songwriter whose music quite literally lights up my life. Her work has earned […]

Presence, Connection, and Song

January 5, 2026

We welcomed the New Year in the best way I know: with music, friends, and a little bit of magic. New Year’s Day, my wife, Laura Baron, […]

Right Sizing Bite Sizes

December 15, 2025

I was recently faced with three different sizes of Tootsie Rolls on my counter. It got me to thinking. Same recipe. Same flavor, same soul. The question […]
