“Nice guys finish last” is a classic line that can be translated to “Boring guys aren’t sexy.” This is not what I’m referring to when I say, “Being nice can suck.” I’m also not talking about how a lot of people confuse being nice with being a pushover. I’m a firm believer on being nice to a point … [Read more...]
How My Wife Really Impressed Me in a Conflict
The other week, my wife gave a wonderful demonstration of how we can reduce conflict. What was extra impressive was it happened after a long day of watching our two girls, so her patience for people would’ve already been worn thin. Here’s what happened: During what’s arguably the best time of day … [Read more...]
Did You Know Easter is Insane?
Side Note: This could be the most important post I’ve written in my nine years of blog writing. Fun fact: Jerusalem has 3.5 million tourists a year (pre-Covid), which is mostly because of Jesus.

Please Note: This post is written by someone who has grown up Canadian with middle to upper class family and friends. Even my current therapy practice involves middle to upper class clients, so my perspective is limited. I will also point out that I’m a serious mama’s boy, my sister is my best … [Read more...]

Talking to a grandparent I recently learned a very interesting lesson: Grandparents love the kids more than the parents at least for a season. I should point out my definition of love is the traditional idea that love is patient, kind, and self controlled. In this case you can also throw in … [Read more...]
