This month, I got Dr. Nixon to explain this growing trend with professionals, who are getting away from their daily environments and going off on inspirational retreats. With an increasing need to unplug and decompress, more people are seeking getaways that focus on mind-body wellness, meditation, and an appreciation for our natural surroundings.

The Pros & Cons of Dating on a Mission
I have said this many times before, and I have no problem admitting this once again from the start-- I am not a fan of dating with a mission. While I am all for knowing your must-haves and can't stands, I really dislike the notion of dating with an end-game in mind. The problem I have with this theory is that I think people run the risk of letting the desired result cloud their judgment. People who want to get married, want to have kids, want to be done with 20 questions, may dismiss perfectly good people if they are not on board with their timeframe.

I have to say, it was quite a thrilling moment, and it was great to finally share this project with some of my friends and relatives, many of whom were unaware of this new task that I've taken on outside of my law practice. To be honest, it is something my son asked me to do a while back because he wanted me to share the story about finding my family with children. I decided to take on this project to teach him that when you have a cool idea, you need to see it through the various phases until it is finished. Of course, because this is way outside my area of expertise, it has taken me quite a while to identify a co-author/editor, illustrator, etc. After outlining the storyline, I had to go through all my albums-- four decades worth of photos-- in order to map out my life's story in pictures. To see it all now come together, I must admit, is pretty awesome. The little gymnast that traveled the world in search of every award possible has finally grown up. All those trophies, medals and certificates are actually in storage now, but what you see prominently displayed in my home are the pictures of all my family members--these are the people I needed to find and [...]
